Things get messy as injury strikes Lions’ DE again after Cardinals game, might miss rest of season

Lions edge rusher  returned to action on Sunday after missing a game with a groin injury, but another injury could potentially end his 2024 season.

Davenport injured his elbow during Detroit’s 20-13 victory over the Cardinals and briefly re-entered the game wearing a sleeve but was unable to continue playing. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Davenport is believed to have sustained a serious injury that might sideline him for the rest of the season.

Further tests are underway, and more details about Davenport’s status are expected later this week.

Davenport joined the Lions this offseason and recorded a half-sack in the season opener. He missed most of last season with the Vikings due to an ankle injury, extending a string of bad luck with injuries for the veteran pass rusher.
