The Facts:
Davis expects to make a full recovery from microfracture surgery performed on his knee last November and play for the Panthers again this season. "Stephen is doing great, he is jacked up about this year," agent David Canter said Thursday. "He feels like that that knee thing was probably something that was here for a while, maybe even when he was in Washington, and he thinks it is all cleared up now."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Canter said the Panthers will probably hold Davis out until training camp in August to allow him to heal. The team also has DeShaun Foster, who missed most of last season with a broken collarbone, and they drafted Eric Shelton in the second round last weekend. Picking Shelton, a big, bruising, north-south runner who is very much like Davis, was viewed as insurance in case the 31-year-old Davis can't play again.
