Controversy sparks as nfl journalist mocks saints linebacker saying What unique milestone did Saints linebacker Demario Davis achieve?

From the brutal takedowns to head-on collisions, football is an unforgiving game laden with injuries and that’s precisely why to escape them is an incredible feat. In a career that has seen him play for several teams, the Saints’ defensive stalwart has been as durable as he is consistent and that’s something to salute.

Demario Davis’ consistency has got to be admired
It’s been 13 years since New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis has been playing in the NFL and during that time the 6 ft 2, 248lb defensive lineman has proven himself to be the very definition of durability. Playing for the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Saints, Davis has played a combined total of 197 of 198 games since his rookie year.

What was that one absence due to? A covid-19 diagnosis back in December 2021 which is to say Davis has never missed a game through injury. Of course, as is the case in all aspects of life nothing lasts forever and so it has come to pass that his long run has finally come to an end.

On Friday afternoon, New Orleans coach Dennis Allen told reporters that Davis would in fact miss the Saints’ Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons this coming Sunday due to a hamstring injury – making the first time in his professional career that the 35-year-old will be on the sideline due to that which all players of any sport fear, injury.
