Fantasy Analysis
It sure sounds as though Davis is going to hang it up after tearing his ACL again. It's a real shame too since he was a very productive player when he wasn't hurt. Even if Davis doesn't retire, he will miss the rest of the 2011 season because of this injury, so you need to cut him in seasonal Fantasy IDP formats. (Updated 09/19/2011).
The Panthers re-signed Thomas Davis this offseason even though he tore an ACL for the second time in three years in 2011. He'll vie for a spot in the starting lineup but can't be trusted as he's a huge injury risk. We wouldn't draft him. (Updated 4/19/12)
