Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says he's "relieved" that medical tests on linebacker Thomas Davis' right knee were negative. Rivera said an MRI on Thursday revealed no damage and that Davis has a strained right calf. Davis will not participate in Saturday's Fan Fest back in Charlotte but could return to practice next week, he hasn't practiced since Sunday. That's encouraging news for Davis, who's trying to become the first known NFL player to return from three torn ACLs to the same knee, Davis tore his right ACL last September for the third time in three years and missed 14 games on injured reserve. Rivera also said Friday that defensive tackle Ron Edwards would miss a few days of practice after hyperextending his right knee in practice Thursday night. Source: CBSSports
I hope he can come back too, but let's be real. He'll hurt his knee again, and we'll put him on the IR list AGAIN. We won't get rid of him AGAIN. We seem to be stuck with this guy
he has so much potential I think that is why. But after two blown out knees how fast can he really be? And can he really trust his knees when tackling? I think the pressure would blow them out again.
You just hope for the best but almost expect the worst. Three blown tires? That's almost a damn miracle to come back from and be what you used to be.
