Todd Davis was stuck in a dispute between his heart and his mind.
The Broncos’ inside linebacker has spent two months rehabilitating a calf injury he suffered on the first day of training camp. A week ago, coach Vic Fangio told reporters Davis had “turned a corner.” But Davis watched from the sideline Sunday when Denver fell in a 16-14 heartbreaker against the Bears.
“I definitely felt ready, personally,” Davis said. “But they made the best decision for me and my longevity for the season and just the injury’s history.”
Clarity on his playing status this Sunday in Green Bay won’t come until the Friday injury report is announced, yet all signs point to Davis making his return.
