Marcus Davenport
DE - Detroit Lions - IR
Week 17 Outlook
Availability
Detroit Lions edge rusher Marcus Davenport is undergoing testing on his elbow to learn the severity of the injury with the fear that it could be a season-ender.
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.
Marcus Davenport was a full participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Davenport was sidelined last week against the Buccaneers. He is on track to return this week against the Cardinals on the road.
