Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis returns this week after serving a four game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. In his absence the Panthers have won three of their four games but everyone – including fans, coaches and his teammates will be happy to see No. 58 back on the field for Carolina.
He will be needed against a Washington Redskins team that has shown signs of being a contender this season. Despite getting blown out by the New Orleans Saints on national television this past Monday night, Washington remains 2-2 and atop the NFC East division.
