Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp, and a new report sheds some light as to why.
According to Paul Kuharsky, Davis had offseason toe surgery in which “doctors had to remove a piece.” It appears he’s on track to be ready for the start of the season, though.
Corey Davis’s current standing on the Titans’ physically unable to perform list is the result of offseason surgery on a troublesome big toe, from which doctors had to remove a piece.
Indications are he’s fine and while the specifics of his timetable are unknown he should be on course to be ready for the season.
We learned Davis was dealing with a turf toe injury at the start of last season after Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan said so on the “Bussin’ with The Boys” podcast back in February. It isn’t clear if that injury was related to his surgery, though. Davis missed just one game (Week 10) last season with a hip injury.
The 25-year-old is entering his fourth season in the NFL and is in a contract year after the Titans declined his fifth-year option. Davis hasn’t panned out exactly the way the Titans hoped when they drafted him No. 5 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, but a big year in 2020 could turn his career around just in time for free agency next offseason.
