(Reuters) - Carolina Panthers All-Pro linebacker Thomas Davis should be ready to play in Super Bowl 50 despite breaking his arm in Sunday's NFC championship game, head coach Ron Rivera said on Monday.
Davis underwent surgery on Monday and Rivera said may need to wear a brace on his arm when the top-seeded Panthers play the Denver Broncos in the NFL championship game on Feb. 7 in Santa Clara, California.
"If it all goes well, it should be something he will be able to play with," Rivera said about the longest-tenured member of the Panthers, who has already shown his grit and resolve to battle back from injury.
