‘Davis tore his left Achilles tendon in a game Oct. 21. He had surgery that same week, performed by foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C. Some players with Achilles tendon injuries can be out 10 to 12 months. Some return sooner. Baltimore Ravens pass rusher Terrell Suggs, whose Achilles was repaired by Anderson last March, was out only five months before returning to help the Ravens win the Super Bowl. Suggs played about 50 snaps a game the last 12 games of Baltimore’s season.’

‘Davis visited the Bills’ facility Thursday after dining with team officials last weekend. Though interested in Buffalo, Davis hasn’t ruled out re-signing with Washington. He’s scheduled to visit the New York Jets on Friday.’

‘”Really good,” Davis said about his visit. “Just getting to know [the Bills staff]. Getting to know what they want for next year, the things they expect. Seeing the things they want to evolve, definitely a tight end like me and the other guys that they have. It’s just a good feeling to talk about that kind of stuff.”‘

‘”A team like this would be (a fit),” said Davis of the Bills. “They have a lot of talent that I need. They have two good running backs. They have Stevie (Johnson). They have another tight end even though he got hurt who will come back. The defense is good. I think they have a lot of stuff that we can add more pieces to and get better. Any team that has a chance to win is what I want and this coaching staff seems to have that same focus.”‘

‘The Bills likely took their time in conducting the player physical with Davis in light of his major surgery. Even Davis knows the chances of getting a contract offer will likely hinge on that physical exam.’
