MARCUS DAVENPORT NEWS

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.
