    Panthers lose LB Thomas Davis to 2nd torn ACL

    By MIKE CRANSTON, AP Sports Writer 1 hour, 21 minutes ago


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Carolina weakside linebacker Thomas Davis(notes) has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the second time in seven months, likely leaving the Panthers without one of their top defensive players for the 2010 season.

    The Panthers revealed Davis’ injury Wednesday, a day after his knee buckled in a non-contact drill in a voluntary workout. Davis had been making a remarkably speedy recovery after he was first injured Nov. 8 at New Orleans. He was clocked last month running the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds.

    Davis wasn’t wearing a knee brace Tuesday when he fell to the turf while backpedaling. He immediately clutched his right knee before walking off the field.

    Davis recently signed his $3.268 million restricted free agent tender.

    Big news.

    Dan Connor, Eric Norwood, and Jamar Williams have a shot.

    I thought he and Connor were competing for that spot? Connor and Anderson likely start now. Norwood probably gets lots of reps though.

    2nd best player on the team

    I feel like somebody has to be to blame though... I'm sure noone pushed him to come back so fast, but somebody should have been telling him it's a marathon, not a spint

    who in the fuck was timing him in the 40 this soon anyway?

    huge blow... defense won't be near what it could have been without him

    even with a second opinion being positive and he plays, it'll just be an issue until he goes down again

    Didn't Jerry Rice have a similar thing happen where he came back too soon and blew out the same knee? Oh yeah... they called it unrelated to the original.

    I HATE this. I was so happy to see that he had signed. It makes me wonder, though, how much will we end up paying him and how much will he count against the salary cap (under the old agreement)? And, for no other reason than to have something to bang my head against the wall about, how many days after he signed his tender was he healthy?
