Former Georgia LB Thomas Davis broke his arm during Sunday’s NFL championship game victory for the Carolina Panthers, but that’s not stopping him.
Apparently, he plans to rubs some dirt on it and be ready to play in two weeks.
Following the celebration of the blowout win against the Arizona Cardinals, Davis vowed to be ready to take the field for the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
#Panthers LB Thomas Davis confirms to reporters that his right forearm is broken. If it's a pain tolerance issue, he said "I'll be there."

Obviously, Davis is a tough dude.
But we have to wonder if he’ll receive the medical clearance he needs to play in the game. Two weeks is a very quick turnaround time for a broken arm, even if it is a minor break and stabilized in a cast.
Davis has been fantastic for the Panthers on the field, but he’s also made Georgia fans proud by his actions off the field, which earned him the 2014 Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
