Miami Dolphins: Left tackle Jesse Davis plans to play through the pain against Los Angeles Chargers

[DKphin]

Dolphins coach Brian Flores is counting on veterans Jesse Davis and Daniel Kilgore to anchor an offensive line that has been in flux since the first game of the season

Injuries have plagued the Dolphins offensive line to the point where a key veteran like starting left tackle Jesse Davis is inclined to play through the pain.
Davis was one of five players limited in practice Wednesday, as he worked through drills with a brace protecting his right elbow. He suffered the setback in last Sunday’s 31-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys but is intent on playing this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers.

“As of right now, it’s day to day but I’m not counting myself out,” said Davis, who entered training camp as the projected starting right guard, then moved to right tackle before shifting over to the left side against New England in Week 2. “We’ll see moving forward where we’re at by the end of the week. I haven’t played with that certain brace before, but I had a soft one last year. It’s not going to be a big issue. A lot of tackles around the league wear one.”

We need more tough SOB’s like Jesse Davis on this roster.

Championship!

He should not risk getting hurt even more. Wilson played week one and now he's missed two weeks in a row.

I did actually. Had one of those

Playing hurt is one thing, being effective (relatively speaking) is another.

Draft both the Iowa tackles

Jesse Davis needs to stay healthy or he will lose his job.

Fix the $%@$! O-line this off season once and for all and stop messing around signing a boat load of journeymen and guys who couldn't block their way out of a wet paper sack.

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Isn’t every dolphin player “playing through the pain” this tank season?

No great loss. He's a mediocre lineman and that's it. He'd be a backup or 3rd stringer on any team who has a good o-line.

I doubt Wilson playing week one had anything to do with it. I don't expect Wilson to ever be a viable NFL player after that hip injury and more time isn't gonna fix that.

As far as Davis, it does make sense with a bye coming up just to get him back healthy.

This forum becomes a Locker Light version. Quite pathetic shitting on a player who wants to play hurt trying to help in his limited ways. He could easily say "**** it. I ain't playing hurt...you know....tank and all."
