Auburn's receiving corps got a boost on Tuesday as the team turned its attention to preparation for the season opener against Clemson on Sept. 3.

Freshman receiver Kyle Davis returned to practice Tuesday, marking the first time this fall that the 6-foot-2, 219-pound receiver was a full participant in practice.

After practice, Davis took to Twitter to express his relief of finally being able to practice.

"First day out da rehab," Davis posted. "Godspeed."

Davis, a former four-star prospect who was rated as the No. 9 receiver in the nation, underwent foot surgery in July a few weeks prior to the start of fall camp. He was listed as "week-to-week" by head coach Gus Malzahn when camp opened earlier this month, and he was a limited participant last week.

On Saturday, Malzahn said he expected Davis would be back when the team reconvened Tuesday. His return comes 11 days before Auburn opens its season against No. 2 Clemson at Jordan-Hare Stadium, leaving limited time to get him up to speed and into the gameplan for the opener.

Davis is one of at least three Auburn freshman receivers who is expected to have a significant role in the Tigers' offense this season. He was an early enrollee but was limited during spring practices while recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent while still in high school.
