Staying healthy will be key, but don't expect ...

When the Los Angeles Chargers signed 36-year-old linebacker Thomas Davis over the offseason, the question was whether he would still have it. That seems to be clear now. After two weeks, Davis is tied with former Defensive Player of the Year and former teammate Luke Kuechly for the league lead in tackles. It's been a blessing that the Davis signing has worked out so well since the Chargers Defense is riddled with key injuries. After losing Derwin James before the season, LA lost Adrian Phillips ...

The Los Angeles Chargers are signing free-agent linebacker Thomas Davis to an undisclosed deal. The Panthers all-time leader in tackles spent 14 years in Carolina but served a four-game suspension in 2018 and had 79 tackles and six passes defensed in 12 games.

Carolina Panthers veteran linebacker Thomas Davis said he doesn't want to end his career in 2018 "on a sour note" due to his four-game suspension. "I'd like to come back (after 2018) if the team will gave me back," Davis said. In his prime, Davis was a tackling machine, racking up 100-plus tackle seasons from 2012 to 2016. He had just 76 tackles in 2017, though, and the 35-year-old is expected to be more of a rotation player moving forward.
