The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Thursday that injured defensive tackle Carlos Davis has returned to practice but will remain on the Reserve/Injured list for now.

Once Davis returns to practice, Pittsburgh has a 21-day window to activate Davis to the 53-man roster, or else he cannot play this season.

Davis hasn’t appeared in a game since Week One against the Buffalo Bills. Davis has been working through a knee injury but appears to be getting closer to returning. Given the state of the Steelers defensive line, the more healthy bodies the better for this upcoming eight-game stretch. Davis is in his second NFL season coming out of the University of Nebraska.
