New Orleans Saints fans were struck with bad news on Tuesday evening when it was reported that second-year defensive end Marcus Davenport suffered a serious foot injury during Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, and that the ailment was expected to require season-ending surgery.
On Wednesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport clarified that Davenport is dealing with a Lisfranc injury in his foot, which was diagnosed after he received a second opinion from Green Bay-based specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. Anderson performed the corrective surgery on Davenport’s turf toe injury after the 2018 season concluded, though it’s unclear whether he’ll be the doctor to treat Davenport after this Lisfranc issue.
