The pedestrian, a 59-year-old North Miami man, was transported to Broward Regional Hospital with several injuries.
Davis was arrested for driving under the influence after refusing field sobriety exercises and a breath test. He was then taken to Broward Hospital as a precaution for injury. He bonded out of jail early Monday morning.
A first-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2009, Davis spent three years with the team before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. He played seven more seasons with the NFL, twice being named to the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2015.
