Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis is making a speedy recovery from the broken arm he suffered in the NFC Championship Game.

Davis sat down with ESPN's David Newton on Friday and confirmed what his wife, Kelly, told SiriusXM NFL Radio recently about him working out immediately following forearm surgery.

"I'm a quick healer," he quipped.

Davis refused to let the injury keep him out of Super Bowl 50, and is applying that same no-quit attitude to offseason workouts.

"It's a six-to-eight-week healing process. I'm going through it right now, but I'm also starting back working out," he said. "We're behind everybody else in that sense. I look at Instagram to see a lot of other guys working out and I really can't stand it.

"I know we were told to take some time off, rest your bodies up. For me I can't sit down a long time. It's right back at it, right back to work. I can do some things with it. I can't lift a whole lot of heavy weights. I'm just taking advantage of what I can do with it right now."
