Marcus Davenport News
The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with free-agent defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle) on an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to sources. The former first-round pick (14th overall) of the New Orleans Saints in 2018 out of Texas-San Antonio spent last year with the division-rival Minnesota Vikings and produced just seven combined tackles and two sacks in four games (three starts) due to a high-ankle sprain. The 27-year-old pass-rusher is going to be forced to prove himself yet again to see if he can stay healthy for a full season, something he's never been able to do in six NFL seasons. In a career-high 15 contests in 2022 in his final season with the Saints, Davenport was only able to produce 29 tackles (16 solo) and half a sack, so anything the Lions are able to get out of him will be a plus in 2024.
Minnesota Vikings pass-rusher Marcus Davenport (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 win over the Chicago Bears, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam. High-ankle sprains usually have a recovery timetable of four to six weeks, so Davenport will be a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. The 27-year-old was carted to the locker room in Sunday's 19-13 victory over the Bears. The former first-round pick in 2018 out of Texas-San Antonio has seven tackles (three solo), two sacks and four QB hits in four games in his first year in Minnesota. With Davenport now missing extended time, look for linebacker D.J. Wonnum to step into a starting role on defense for the Vikings.
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle) is active ahead of Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old missed the season opener due to an ankle issue, but appears to be good now. Davenport was limited earlier in the week, but it doesn't sound like he'll be on a snap count during this game. It'll be his team debut after signing with the Vikings this offseason. The former first-rounder should be an immediate upgrade to this defensive unit.
