It is the first game that he has missed since 1979. Davis is recovering from swelling in his right ankle and knee. Doctors advised him to miss the trip to avoid further swelling which would be caused by flying to Tampa. Raiders executive John Herrera stated, "I can't emphasize this enough. He's feeling good. He wanted to make the trip and expected to make the trip, but the decision was made that it was not a good idea because of his knee and ankle."ESPN.com: Davis skips trip to Tampa (December 28, 2008)
