These things happen. And I never got confronted and (no one) said, &#8216;Your play has slipped.&#8217; Nothing. I was playing at a level that was acceptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">&#8220;But now, my play slips and this? They should have come to me way earlier and said, &#8216;Vontae, you&#8217;re not yourself. You&#8217;re not playing well.&#8217; I told the trainers my groin was not responding.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Davis said Pagano not informing him of the benching initially rubbed him the wrong way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">&#8220;It should be more about the respect. I&#8217;m a professional,&#8221; Davis said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in (the league) long enough. When I look at the situation, I feel like there was no respect. Knowing Chuck, I figured it would come from him. It really bothered me.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">If he does undergo season-ending surgery, it may be the last game Davis plays for the Colts. The veteran corner is an unrestricted free agent in 2018 and seems unlikely to return based on his seemingly contentious relationship with the coaching staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Davis went to two Pro Bowls in six seasons in Indianapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-http:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/2743305-vontae-davis-reportedly-needs-season-ending-surgery-to-fix-groin-injury<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/vontae-davis-reportedly-needs-season-ending-surgery-fix-groin-injury.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vontae Davis Reportedly Needs Season-Ending Surgery to Fix Groin Injury Vontae Davis Reportedly Needs Season-Ending Surgery to Fix Groin Injury:-Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis reportedly needs season-ending surgery on his injured groin after consulting with independent physicians.
