An IR stint is never a good thing, but this time around it stands to really hurt Marcus Davenport.
The Detroit Lions took a one-year flier on defensive end Marcus Davenport in 2024 free agency, and it seemed like a good situation for him if he could stay on the field. He looked good in the first game last season, then he missed Week 2 with a groin injury.
Davenport then suffered a triceps injury in Week 3 of last season against the Arizonal Cardinals, on a dirty play from Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Paris Johnson, and he missed the rest of the campaign.
