There’s a chance Falcons wide receiver Drew Davis could play against Carolina on Sunday after he made it through his first week of practice with no issues.

Davis returned to the field on Nov. 3 after being out since July following foot surgery. The Falcons have up to 21 days from that date to add him to the active roster from the physically unable to perform list.

“We got him through the first week,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “He went through it very well. He’s close to a full load.”

Davis, 25, is in his third season with the Falcons. He has 16 catches for 256 yards and three touchdowns in 32 career games and also has been a core special-teams player.
