#Lions pass-rusher Marcus Davenport suffered what appears to be a serious and significant elbow injury in Sunday’s game, sources say.

Fantasy Impact:

After a solid Lions debut with six pressures and a sack, Davenport missed Week 2 with a groin injury; and though he returned in Week 3, he clearly looked hampered even before his elbow injury, logging just a single pressure. If Davenport misses time, it will be a tough hit to Detroit, which has been looking for a consistent pass-rushing presence opposite of Aidan Hutchinson (Davenport has a 70+ defensive PFF grade in every season except 2023). He is also playing on a one-year contract.
