Nicki Jhabvala reports that Broncos ILB Todd Davis suffered a partial calf muscle tear and is expected to be out 3-4 week.
Davis was taken off on a cart towards the end of Thursday’s practice and later underwent an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.
The good news for the Broncos and Davis is that he should have time to be ready for the start of the regular season.
Davis, 27, originally signed on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Sacramento State back in 2014. He lasted less than a year in New Orleans before he was waived during the season and later claimed off of waivers by the Broncos.
The Broncos brought Davis back on a one-year, $2.746 million restricted contract for the 2016 season before signing him to a three-year, $15 million contract that includes $6 million guaranteed last year. He stands to make base salaries of $4 million and $5 million over the final two years of the agreement.
In 2018, Davis appeared in all 16 games for the Broncos and recorded 114 tackles, a half sack, an interception, a defensive touchdown, and seven pass defenses.
