Ex-49ers RT Anthony Davis confirms he plans to attempt comeback next season

Former 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis, who was placed on the team’s reserve/retired list in June, confirmed Monday morning he plans to make a comeback in 2016.

When a fan asked Davis on Twitter if there’s any chance he’ll be back next season, Davis responded, “Yes, that's the Plan.”

Davis, a five-year NFL veteran, turns 26 in October. He stepped away from the sport this offseason due to health concerns, he said.

"After a few years of thought, I've decided it will be best for me to take a year or so away from the NFL,” Davis wrote in a statement upon announcing his decision.
