Lions' Marcus Davenport Exits With Shoulder Injury After Brief Return in Win Over Bears

The defensive end will undergo further evaluation Monday following a second-half exit against Chicago.

Overview

  • Detroit listed Davenport with an ankle issue and questionable to return after a second-quarter exit, then he tested the ankle on the sideline and opened the third quarter back on the field.
  • He later left in the third quarter with a right shoulder injury after an 8-yard sack of Caleb Williams and is slated for additional tests Monday.
  • Davenport said postgame that he felt okay and was pleased with the 52-21 victory, though he remained uncertain about the specifics of the shoulder issue and appeared to have ice on it.
  • The first-half ankle scare followed an accidental collision with teammate Aidan Hutchinson, and Davenport had one tackle before that initial departure.
  • Durability remains a storyline after a season-ending triceps tear in Week 3 last year and limited recent availability, even as Detroit re-signed him to start opposite Hutchinson.
