The Panthers LB Thomas Davis last played in a game on Nov. 8, 2009, at the New Orleans Saints, when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was sidelined for the second half of the season. He was well on his way to a complete recovery when, on June 8, 2010, Davis suffered the same injury during a summer school workout. He held out hope of returning late in the 2010 season, but all parties involved thought better of it. Now, Davis believes he'll be better for it. "I'm doing fine. I'm in a position now where I'm just trying to make sure my knee is as strong as it possibly can be, and I think we've been able to accomplish that," Davis said. "Once we get out there, I'm going to start out with a brace on just to make sure everything is structurally sound, and from then on I'm just going to continue my career. I think I've had so much time to rehab and prepare that I'm not even going to think about (the injury) once I'm out there." Source: CBS Sports
