"I got two weeks to alleviate up, and I'm traveling to use every minute of that," Davis said. "Come on, you apperceive me, right? I ain't missing the Super Bowl, you bigger accept that."
Davis bankrupt his arm in a blow with Cardinals bound end Darren Fells amid through the additional quarter. He alternate to the amusement with his arm in a casting and a bung and was clumsy to acknowledgment to the game. The severity of the breach is alien at present, admitting his wife accepted on Instagram that Davis underwent anaplasty for the abrasion Monday morning.
Head drillmaster Ron Rivera didn't catechism whether Davis will be accessible to play in Super Bowl 50.
"If he says he will be ready, I apperceive he will be ready," Rivera said.
After Davis' surgery, Rivera was optimistic about the linebacker's recovery:While his application is admirable and his courage is unquestioned, the absoluteness is that Davis getting physically able to play two weeks removed from fracturing his arm may not be realistic.
"I'm a bit skeptical," Dr. Aloiya Earl from The Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center told SB Nation. "Usually, accessible action is aloof for fractures which are displaced and accordingly charge some affectionate of accouterments (pins, plates, or screws) to accumulate the cartilage in the actual position while it heals. That affectionate of anaplasty would accept him out of antagonism for at atomic six weeks."
Dr. Earl didn't aphorism out the achievability of Davis attempting to play entirely, however.
"Sometimes with assertive fractures (depending on the specific cartilage he broke), they do what's alleged a percutaneous fixation with a spiral for non-displaced, abiding fractures. This can activate healing and acquiesce for play with a wrist splint, even [as anon as] two weeks postoperatively. So, that's a achievability -- depending on the fracture. Affliction and wrist acerbity will be his better challenges for the bold itself."
Though the injuries are actual altered in nature, Davis has appear aback from above injuries before, which makes his availability for Super Bowl 50 added likely, according to Dr. Earl.
"Absolutely. He's accepted himself to be an abundantly airy competitor," Earl said. "I don't agnosticism his adeptness to play through pain. My affair would be him arena and causing added abrasion or re-injury to the website -- authoritative a ahead abiding breach potentially ambiguous or displaced. But I aswell assurance the Panthers aggregation physicians and medical agents who will bright him alone if they feel assured in his prognosis."
"If he's able to yield the acreage on Super Bowl Sunday, I don't anticipate Panthers or Broncos admirers akin will apprehension any absolute deficiencies [in Davis' play]."
Davis, a 10-year veteran, was drafted by the Panthers in the aboriginal annular of the 2005 NFL Draft. He's no drifter to the affliction of injury. Davis came aback from three after ACL tears in the aforementioned knee.
When he tore his ACL for the third time aboriginal in the 2011 season, Davis was assertive that he was done with the NFL. No amateur had anytime appear aback from a third ACL tear, and Davis was initially assertive he wouldn't be the first. Since his recovery, Davis has absent just two amateur in four seasons. He has had over 100 tackles anniversary season, as able-bodied as a absolute of 12 sacks and seven interceptions in that time frame.
