[Panthers] Injury To Panthers LB Thomas Davis Thought To Be Serious

Panthers WLB Thomas Davis injured his right knee in the loss at New Orleans, and teammates feared it could be serious. Davis, one of the team's top players, missed a month of preseason with an MCL sprain in the same knee. "We're hoping that it's better than he expects it is," SLB Na'il Diggs said. "Right now, all we can do is stay optimistic. Maybe it's just a couple of weeks with an MCL or whatever." Even though Landon Johnson is a capable backup, he doesn't make the kind of explosive plays that Davis can make, and the Panthers' defense would change dramatically without him.
