Panthers LB Thomas Davis received crushing news...again. An injury he suffered at Panthers OTAs this week was indeed another torn ACL, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Panthers LB Thomas Davis Tears ACL...Again
Davis was lost last November when he blew his right anterior cruciate ligament while backpedaling and planting on the Louisiana Superdome turf. That one was a non-contact injury, and Tuesday’s spill was eerily similar. While backpedaling during individual drills next to teammate Jon Beason, Davis went down without being touched by another player, and immediately gripped his right knee.
You gotta feel for him on a personal level -- and we haven’t even gotten to the financial part. Davis was a restricted free agent making about $3.2 million. If the CBA mess got figured out, he was likely to land a new contract with the Panthers in the $8 million per year range.
That may not be happening now.
