Regardless of what were doing. He explained that. For me

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After a one-year hiatus, San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis is aiming to return to the NFL.Davis tweeted Monday morning that he has filed his letter requesting reinstatement to the NFL and the team.The onus now falls on the NFL to allow Davis reinstatement and the 49ers to clear a spot on their 90-man roster should they want to retain his rights. Davis is currently on the reserve/retired list.Davis took what was expected to be a temporary break from the NFL last June, an announcement that came on the heels of a 2014 season in which he started just seven games and dealt with knee, hamstring and head injuries.Mondays declaration that hes aiming to return is no surprise, however, as he had indicated a return was possible if not probable when he walked away.After a few years of thought, Ive decided it will be best for me to take a year or so away from the NFL, Davis said in a statement last year. This will be a time for me to allow my brain and body a chance to heal. I know many wont understand my decision, thats OK.Im simply doing whats best for my body as well as my mental health at this time in my life.Davis, 26, started 71 games in five seasons for the 49ers before he walked away.While San Francisco has needed help at right tackle since Davis departure, its unclear whether the team plans to keep him upon reinstatement, what kind of physical condition hes in or what his role would be upon returning.As it stands, the Niners have incumbent Erik Pears and Trent Brown set to compete for the right tackle spot in training camp with rookies and veterans slated to report on Saturday.

LOS ANGELES -- Carmelo Anthony says he has had countless conversations with former Lakers great Kobe Bryant about the best ways to deal with how Phil Jackson criticizes the New York Knicks star through the media.Bryant, after all, certainly has dealt with the 11-time NBA champion coach.Me and Kobe have countless conversations about that, Anthony said Saturday after the Knicks practiced in Los Angeles ahead of Sundays game against the Lakers.?In an interview with CBS Sports, Jackson recently said Anthony can play the role that Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant played in their teams triangle offenses, but Jackson said Anthony sometimes breaks a team rule by holding on to the ball too long.Anthony said he had a short meeting with Jackson on Saturday about the recent dust-up but added that he has moved past the situation and is determined not to read too much into it.Thats something Ive learned over the years, especially with Phil, Anthony said, referring to the advice Bryant gave him. [Jacksons] going to talk. Nobody can stop that. So try not to read into it too much.Anthony declined to share what Jackson said to him Saturday but characterized it as short and that it would probably come out publicly soon anyway.Im pretty sure I might be in a book, Anthony said jokingly. Maybe a couple of books.One issue that came up in the meeting, according to Anthony, was the idea that Jackson seems to bring up the Knicks forward in many of his interviews.ddddddddddddThat was my question: why? Anthony said. Regardless of what was the context of it - interview or conversation - just why? Regardless of what you said, why every time my name comes up? Regardless of what were doing. He explained that. For me, its been behind me since two days ago. At this point, it aint no need for me to keep harping on the same situation.It wasnt anything that was affecting me. It was just something that if I got an opportunity to speak to him, I was going to tell him how I felt about what happened and what was said, if anything was misinterpreted. He spoke his piece.Anthony said he has a better understanding of Jacksons message when he said his star forward has a penchant for holding on to the ball for too long. But hed prefer that kind of message be delivered in private.Hes got to be careful with the choice of words that he uses, Anthony said. He understands that, he knows that.As far as hes concerned, though, the issue is behind them.We talked. We had a conversation this morning. He said his piece. I said my piece. Two men spoke, Anthony said. Theres not many amends to be made. From my standpoint, theres no problems, theres no issues.ESPN staff writer Ian Begley also contributed to this report.? ' ' '
