Stephen Davis developing Wally Pipp’s disease?
Panthers running back Stephen Davis, who was a crucial player during the team’s Super Bowl run two seasons ago, seems awfully eager to get back into playing shape.
You would be, too, if you suddenly found yourself third on the depth chart. The Sporting News is reporting that rookie Eric Shelton may challenge DeShaun Foster as the team’s starting running back, because Shelton is proving to be more durable than Foster and less prone to fumbling.
I don’t want to count Davis out just yet, because I was dead wrong about Jerome Bettis being done, but even if Davis is healthy, he’s also 31 and coming off knee surgery. Shelton might be the better option this season.
