The Lions placed Davenport (chest) on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Davenport suffered a chest injury during the Lions' Week 2 win over the Bears. He was already ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, but his placement on IR means he'll be forced to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20 the earliest that Davenport can be reinstated from IR.

Davenport (chest) is not expected to play in Detroit's matchup versus the Ravens on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Davenport has missed practice all week after having suffered a chest injury during last week's win over the Bears. While head coach Dan Campbell said that the injury isn't season ending, it's currently unclear how long Davenport will be sidelined for. In his likely absence, Tyler Lacy will likely start at defensive end alongside Aidan Hutchinson.

Davenport is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to a shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
Davenport was cleared to return to Sunday's game after briefly leaving due to an ankle injury, but he appeared to hurt his shoulder while sacking Caleb Williams in the second half. Al-Quadin Muhammed will see an uptick in playing time at defensive end for as long as Davenport is sidelined.

Davenport (triceps) is participating in training camp, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davenport showed no ill effects from the triceps injury that ended his 2024 campaign in Week 3, as Twentyman notes that Davenport looked like the best player on the field in Monday's practice. The veteran pass rusher is penciled in as a starter despite having only 3.0 sacks in 21 games over the past three regular seasons.

Davenport (triceps) is a full participant in OTAs and is expected to be ready for the start of the season, Jimmy Liao of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive end suffered a triceps injury in Week 3 last year that ended his season, and he continues to wear a wrap on his left elbow, per Liao. Davenport has played in just six games over the last two seasons due to injuries, and he signed a one-year deal for the third offseason in a row in March. Despite his injury issues, Davenport is in line to start on Detroit's defensive line across from Aidan Hutchinson.

The Lions signed Davenport (triceps) to a one-year, $4.75 million contract Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davenport proved to be an effective pass rusher across his first five seasons with the Saints, but injuries have limited him to just six regular-season games over the last two years. His 2024 campaign came to a halt after he suffered a triceps injury against Arizona in Week 3, but the 2018 first-round pick will run it back with Detroit for the 2025 campaign. Davenport's most productive season came in 2021 with the Saints, when he posted 39 tackles (23 solo), including 9.0 sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 11 regular-season games.
