Alex Davis Possibly Out for the Year

Just doing a little research but most people heal up from this injury within 6-8 weeks and that is with surgery. I would think Alex Davis would be back in time for the season.

Everything i see in regards to the Jones fracture seems to say the same 6 to 8 weeks. I'm thinking it may be more than what he's letting on due to people not really needing to know someones medical condition.

 
Jones fracture is the same injury that DPE had in fall camp in 2015. Most likely he will have surgery and be back in mid to late June.

 
Could be back in pads then but how long will it take to get back to where we need him to be? I don't think DPE was really himself for a decent while there. Some mental hurdles to get over there too.

 
Better to happen now than in Fall Camp. Maybe Freedom can cut some weight and play OLB and we can play with the Davis Twins at DE's and rely on some young guys and Newell to supply depth. Not ideal but would get out best 11 on the field. I think Davis will be back but he seems like he has a ways to go with the position switch anyways and this will surely put him behind schedule.

 
I wouldn't push Davis to come back to quick from this injury. The good thing is that he will have a number of months in the offseason to recover, but he will miss out summer conditioning.

Freedom even slimmed down isn't athletic enough to be an OLB. Hell, he isn't even athletic enough at DE as is. He got way too big and lost every ounce of speed he once had.
