Some tests held on Monday showed that the Carolina Panthers weakside linebacker Thomas Davis had a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, a injury severe enough to keep him from playing football for the rest of the season.
Davis got the season-ending injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was backpedaling when stopped to plant and his knee buckled. He crumpled to the turf and Drew Brees managed to throw a 17-yard pass to Pierre Thomas. Davis immediately feared that he may have to end his most successful season.
The Panthers’ most productive defensive player has been with the Panthers for four years since he was picked by the team in 2005 first-round draft. With 69 tackles, two sacks and an interception, he ranks second among linebackers wearing Panthers jerseys behind Jon Beason. And if not with injury, he would possible be selected to Pro Bowl.
