There are a lot of names on the first Super Bowl injury report, but according to Ron Rivera most of them are for precautionary reasons.
Ron Rivera isn't taking any chances.
Eight players are listed on the Panthers' first injury report for Super Bowl 50, but according to Max Henson of Panthers.com, the only real concern for the big game is linebacker Thomas Davis who is recovering from surgery to heal a broken forearm sustained in the NFC Championship game against Arizona.
Thomas Davis has said on multiple occasions since injuring his arm that he will be active for the Super Bowl, and Rivera believes him.
