GREEN BAY, Wis. – Trevor Davis wasn’t with the Packers last season, but the Green Bay Packers rookie receiver heard about Randall Cobb’s shoulder injury that dogged him all season.

He hopes his injury -- which, like Cobb’s, is a sprained AC joint -- doesn’t linger.

“It sounds like it was something like Randall’s,” Davis said.

Davis, a fifth-round draft pick, missed last week’s season opener at Jacksonville but returned to full-participant status in practice this week and appears on track to be available for Sunday’s game at Minnesota if coach Mike McCarthy can find room for him on the 46-man game-day roster.

“I thought he practiced well,” McCarthy said Friday. “He didn't really have any limitations, so we'll see how he goes through today. I liked the way he worked. I didn't think he had any setbacks and he had a couple nice catches, particularly in the team periods, was productive. His special-teams work was good, so we'll see how he progressed.”

The timeframe on Davis’ return mirrors Cobb’s from last year. Cobb hurt his shoulder in the penultimate preseason game, missed the finale but was ready for the opener. Davis’ injury came in the preseason finale and missed Week 1.

"Shoulders can definitely be bothersome because you use it a lot," Davis said. "It’s still day by day. Of course, there’s still some aches and pains and limitations with that. For going out there and from the standpoint of doing what you need to do, but I feel like I can go out there."

Davis was injured when he landed hard on his right shoulder while hanging on for a 13-yard catch in the first quarter of that game. He had been slated to play a majority of that game.

“Just want to go out there and show what I can do and help the team any way I can -- special teams or at receiver,” Davis said. “Really it starts with practice, being able to go out there and show them I can do it in practice so that they trust that you can do it in the game.

“I know I have places to improve and that’s what I really wanted to be able to show in that last game. I know I have a lot more to learn and build more trust.”

Davis showed his potential early in camp with a couple of impressive practices before the pads went on, but then took a step or two back as the preseason progressed. He finished with four catches for 45 yards but never really showed off his impressive speed in a game setting.
