San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis denied a published report that he and left tackle Joe Staley had a verbal altercation after he reportedly called out quarterback Colin Kaepernick in a players-only meeting earlier this month.

Published reports suggested the altercation escalated into a physical confrontation. Davis shot down both reports - claiming he didn't criticize Kaepernick and he didn't get into a dispute with Staley. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
