Report: Anthony Davis not considering retiring again

There are conflicting reports on Sunday as to the future of San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis.

Amidst reports that Davis, who retired once before returning after a year and a half for this season, was about to walk away from the game for a second time, Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole reported Saturday that Davis had no such thought.

Cam Inman of the Mercury News reported earlier Saturday that the Niners were trying to talk their starting right guard out of retirement just two days before the start of the regular season.

The fears apparently weren’t quite without merit. As recently as July, the Niners were reportedly concerned that Davis wasn’t back to stay. He did miss Saturday’s practice with a personal issue which helped fuel the speculation, but it sounds like the team can safely count on him lining up at right guard on Monday night.
