There was some hope that New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport would make his 2020 debut on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers after missing the first two games with an elbow injury, but the Saints remained patient with him. Davenport practiced just twice — on a limited basis — last week, and watched the Saints and Packers play in a tracksuit.
With star defensive end Cameron Jordan being outplayed by Davenport’s backup, Trey Hendrickson, the Saints could use all the help they can get. And Saints coach Sean Payton is optimistic they’ll get a boost soon.
