Thomas Davis career might be over

Panthers OLB Thomas Davis just might have played his last down of NFL football on Sunday. Davis tore his right ACL for the 3rd time in less than 2 years in the loss to Green Bay. His 1st comeback was derailed by a 2nd tear during 2010 training camp. Davis appeared on track this time around, but this latest setback will be tough. It's also a big blow to a Panthers D that lost MLB Jon Beason for the season in Week 1. Omar Gaither is the closest thing to a "name" player among the candidates to replace Davis. For now, MLB Dan Connor gains tackle upside. SLB James Anderson adds IDP value as well. Carolina, on the other hand, only becomes a more favorable matchup for offensive players.
