Vontae Davis Injury: Updates on Colts CB's Status and Return
Indianapolis Colts star cornerback Vontae Davis was declared active for tonight's Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans.
Kevin Bowen of Colts.com reported Davis was at practice on Oct. 5 but didn't participate.
Injuries have ravaged the Colts' defensive backfield in 2015. In Week 2's loss to the New York Jets that dropped Indianapolis to 0-2, Davis left the contest with a concussion. That left the Colts down their top four cornerbacks at the time.

The defense needs to play better for the Colts to truly be a contender. The unit currently ranks 27th in total yards allowed per contest. Davis is vital to the cause as the best defensive player on the roster.
Jack Browne of The Score weighed in on Indianapolis' injury issues thus far in the season:
With Matt Hasselbeck under center for the Colts tonight, having Davis on the field is a huge relief for Indianapolis.
