Former NFL tight end Tyrone Davis died on Oct. 2 at the age of 50, according to an obituary posted by Jeffress Funeral Home in Virginia.

Former Green Bay Packers teammate Earl Dotson also confirmed the news on social media.

"This is difficult to post," Dotson wrote, via TMZ Sports. "Rest in paradise teammate. This good man Tyrone Davis fought beside me on the NFL Green Bay Packers for years. Brother forever."

Davis was drafted by the New York Jets in 1995, but he saw limited action until a trade to the Packers in 1997.
