This post is not about me, or how tough I am. It's not to shine any light on me or my injuries. Our team doctors and trainers did an amazing job giving me an opportunity to get back on the field. This post is strictly to show how much love I have for my brothers and #PantherNation. Thank you all for your support and we will #KeepPounding.-TD

"This post is not about me, or how tough I am," Davis wrote following the game. "It's not to shine any light on me or my injuries. Our team doctors and trainers did an amazing job giving me an opportunity to get back on the field. This post is strictly to show how much love I have for my brothers and #PantherNation. Thank you all for your support and we will #KeepPounding."

After overcoming three ACL injuries, Davis proved to be one of the most resilient players in the NFL. Regardless of the outcome, Davis will be at the forefront of the Panthers' resurgence next fall.
