Titus Davis, a former receiver at Central Michigan and older brother of Titans wideout Corey Davis has passed away. He was 27 and died on Wednesday morning surrounded by family and friends.

According to Detroit News, Davis had been undergoing treatment for a rare form of kidney cancer- renal medullary carcinoma, since July. He had been undergoing chemotherapy since late July in Houston.
