I swear, I thought Rivera said he would be in on certain packages. Don't remember him saying he would START.

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said linebacker Thomas Davis will play Sunday night against the New York Jets.

Davis has been hampered by a strained calf while recovering from a third reconstructive knee surgery, but the linebacker has seen time on the practice field this week.

Coach Ron Rivera announced that Davis would start Sunday's game against the New York Jets, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reported Friday.

That's what the article says that sounds pretty direct to me but again it was Person who reported it so it may not be accurate, but still I find it interesting that it would say he would start because that then means moving Luke to the inside

But yea after reading the article above this post I'm guessing this was just an error by Person.

This article on NFL.com says that Rivera has said that Thomas Davis will start against the Jets. Does that mean Kuechly is going to be starting at MLB tonight?

It also says that it was reported by Joe Person so take it FWIW

So what you're saying is we'll run a 3-4 defense, we're signing a free agent DT, FS, and CB and JR is going to reveal our all black uni's?!?!?!?

Glad TD is finally getting a start. I really hope the best for him and that he can stay healthy this year. But he has to start some where. Like some people have said already. If he is going to hurt that knee again. It's going to happen whether in this game or regular season. Better to go ahead and test him out now then wait until regular season. I think TD will be fine. The man strong and he has great faith in the Lord. What ever happens it happens. I'm sure TD put it all in the Lord hands now. Ready for the game to begin. Go Panthers!!

Click through to the "reported Friday" . Person doesn't once claim that Davis is starting, he only states that he's going to be playing. Them stating that he's going to start is total BS.

I am really looking forward to see that roving cyborg on the field tonight. I am a big TD fan and I wish him nothing but a healthy season. As long as he stays healthy the rest will take care of itself. Dude is a machine. Get some TD!! Long time coming.

roving cyborg... can't wait!

I thought he was starting only on special teams but i could be wrong

yeah, rivera said he was working with the "first bunch" on special teams and i took that to mean first teams or what would be considered starters on STs or something like that.

it could be that in their game planning for the week that they shifted kuechly inside and put davis on the outside, but no one said anything about this...just that they had increased davis' workload in practice.

we'll have to wait and see. i just don't see the sense in them kicking kuechly inside if the plan is to have beason starting week 1 in the middle. that's the kind of thing that would have been leaked at the very least.
