Moves to IR The Lions placed Davenport (triceps) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact Davenport lands on injured reserve after suffering a season-ending triceps injury during Detroit's win over Arizona in Week 3. The 28-year-old edge rusher has logged just six combined regular-season appearances over the last two seasons. Now Davenport, who is set to hit free agency in March, will focus on returning to full health.

Injures triceps Davenport suffered a season-ending triceps injury in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The nature of Davenport's triceps injury is unknown, but it is severe enough to knock him out for the remainder of the season. Injuries have been an issue for the defensive end, as he has played just six games over the past two seasons. He will now focus on recovering for the 2025 season. In his absence, Josh Paschal is a candidate for increased time with the Lions' first-team defense.

Likely out for season Davenport suffered a season-ending tricep injury in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Though the exact details surrounding Davenport's injury aren't known, he presumably is dealing with at least a partial tear of his tricep and will require surgery. Injuries have been an issue for the defensive end, as he has played just six games over the past two seasons and may have played a part in him settling for a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Lions in free agency this offseason. Over his two games with Detroit, Davenport recorded two tackles and a half sack.

Out for the year Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Monday that Davenport (elbow) won't return this season, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact The first-year Lion was feared to have sustained a season-ending elbow injury during Sunday's Week 3 win over the Cardinals, and Campbell's comments Monday confirmed it. Davenport has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, appearing in just six total games. Expect Josh Paschal to see increased time with the Lions' first-team defense with Davenport sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Could miss extended time Davenport will undergo tests Monday on his elbow after suffering an injury in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Davenport was in and out of the game and tried to continue playing with a sleeve on it. Rapoport suggests though that the injury may be significant and could be of the season-ending variety. More clarity on his future status will likely come when the Lions release their first injury report of the week.

Impact Davenport was in and out of the game and tried to continue playing with a sleeve on the affected arm. Rapoport suggests though that the injury may be significant and could be of the season-ending variety. More clarity on Davenport's future status will likely come when the Lions release their first injury report of the week ahead of a Week 4 Monday night showdown with the Seahawks.

Inactive Sunday Davenport (groin) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers.
Impact As expected, Davenport will need to sit out in Week 2 as he continues to recover from a groin injury. In his absence, Josh Paschal could draw a start at defensive end across from Aidan Hutchinson.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Sunday Davenport (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.
Impact Davenport was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury, so it's no surprise that he's been listed as doubtful for the Lions' Week 2 contest. If the 28-year-old is sidelined for Sunday's affair, expect James Houston and Josh Paschal to see increased snaps with Detroit's first-team defense.

Dealing with groin injury Davenport (groin) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact Davenport entered training camp with a clean bill of health after dealing with an ankle injury for most of the 2023 season. He finished Sunday's 26-20 win over the Rams with one tackle, including 0.5 sacks, while playing 46 of 78 defensive snaps. The 2018 first-round pick will work to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday and prepare for Detroit's Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Moves off PUP list The Lions removed Davenport (ankle) from their active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact After passing a physical Wednesday, it seems as if Davenport is finally starting to get past the ankle injury that limited him to just four games last season. The veteran linebacker inked a one-year deal with Detroit earlier in the offseason, and he's expected to serve as one of the team's top edge rushers in 2024.

Starting camp on PUP list Detroit placed Davenport (ankle) on its active/PUP list Sunday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Davenport played just four games during the 2023 season due to a high-ankle sprain, and it seems he's still working to recover from that. Once he's healthy, he projects for a substantial role on the edge along with Aidan Hutchinson and John Cominsky.
