ASHBURN — Robert Davis remembers his first steps. Not the ones he took as an infant, of course, but the ones he took four months after suffering a gruesome leg injury.
At 24, the Redskins wide receiver had to learn how to walk again. Last August, Davis broke his tibia and tore his ACL, PCL and LCL all on one play. He was carted off, with his football career potentially over.
But in the Redskins’ facility earlier in the offseason, Davis was with a team trainer as he took his first steps without crutches. He was emotional.
