According to Justin Rogers, Lions HC Dan Campbell confirmed DE Marcus Davenport will miss the rest of the season with a significant elbow injury.
Davenport, 28, was drafted by the Saints in the first round out of UTSA in 2018. He signed a four-year, $13.741 million rookie contract with the Saints in 2018 that included an $8.074 million signing bonus.
The Saints picked up his fifth-year option for the 2022 season that paid him $9.553 million fully guaranteed.
Davenport was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career when the Vikings signed him to a one-year, $13 million deal. They wound up placing him on injured reserve back in October after just four games.
The Lions signed Davenport to a one-year deal this offseason.
In 2024, Davenport has appeared in two games for the Lions and recorded two total tackles and 0.5 sacks.
