Davis was diagnosed with a “badly sprained ankle” with no timetable given for his return during the Missouri game on Oct. 15, but McElwain noted Monday that his senior leader has participated in some light work and will continue rehab throughout the week in hopes of being able to play in this weekend’s rivalry series.
