CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Carolina linebacker Thomas Davis has torn
the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the third time
in less than 23 months.
The injury occurred during the third quarter of Sunday's 30-23
loss to Green Bay when Davis got his leg stuck in a pile of
players. It's another huge blow to Carolina's defense, which lost
Jon Beason for the year with a torn Achilles in the season opener
against Arizona.
Coach Ron Rivera says "it's disappointing news" for Davis, who
was "playing really well."
Davis wrote on Twitter: "I would like 2 take the time and thank
every1 that has supported me over my career."
Davis first tore his right ACL on Nov. 8, 2009 against New
Orleans and again during the 2010 June minicamps.
