News

  • Agrees to one-year Vikings contract

    Davenport agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract with the Vikings on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Barring any unforeseen snags, this deal will be consummated when the new league year begins Wednesday. Davenport had just half a sack for the Saints in 2022 after totaling 9.0 in 2021, so he's likely hoping to bounce back on a prove-it deal and cash in with a long-term contract next offseason.

  • Returning to action

    Davenport (calf) is active Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Davenport has been out since suffering the injury Week 9 against the Ravens. After logging limited practices throughout the week, the 26-year-old will return to action, which should be a major boon for the Saints' defensive line, especially with Cameron Jordan also returning from a fractured orbital.

  • Could play in Week 12

    Davenport (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Davenport has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a calf injury sustained during New Orleans' Week 9 loss to Baltimore. However, the 26-year-old managed to log three limited practices ahead of Sunday's contest, and he should have a solid chance to suit back up versus San Francisco. Davenport recorded 19 tackles and 0.5 sacks over the first nine games of the season, and his availability would be a big boost with fellow starting defensive end Cameron Jordan (orbital) also questionable to…read more

  • Limited in return to practice

    Davenport (calf) logged a limited practice session Wednesday.

    Analysis: The return to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, signals a step in the right direction for Davenport after he failed to practice in any capacity last week. He hurt his calf in Week 9 against Baltimore and hasn't been able to play since. Davenport appears to have a chance to return Sunday against San Francisco, which could result in Tanoh Kpassagnon and/or Carl Granderson seeing fewer snaps.

  • Won't play Week 11

    Davenport (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Davenport was forced out with a calf injury during New Orleans' Week 9 loss to the Ravens and sat out the team's following game against Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old was then sidelined for each practice ahead of this Week 11 contest, so his next chance to play will come against San Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 27. With fellow defensive end Cameron Jordan (eye) also ruled out against Los Angeles, expect Tanoh Kpassagnon, Carl Granderson and Payton Turner to take on bigger roles Week 11.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Davenport (calf) was listed as a non-participant on the Saints' injury report Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Davenport was forced out with a calf injury against the Ravens in Week 9 and did not practice before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. Now, unless the defensive end is able to improve his activity during practice Thursday or Friday, he'll likely be sidelined for the second straight week. Davenport is on pace to log one of the least productive seasons of his career, recording 19 tackles and just 0.5 sacks over the first nine games of the season, though he should reprise a starting…read more

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Davenport (calf) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Davenport suffered the injury in Monday's loss to the Ravens and hasn't recovered enough to return to play. Carl Granderson and Tanoh Kpassagnon are both candidates to see increased work in Davenport's absence.

  • Questionable for Week 10

    Davenport (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport sustained a calf injury during Monday's loss to the Ravens and was limited during each of the Saints' three practice sessions this week. If he's unavailable against Pittsburgh, Tanoh Kpassagnon (illness) and Carl Granderson are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Forced out Monday

    Davenport is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Ravens with a calf injury, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

    Analysis: Davenport headed to the locker room shortly after exiting early in the second half, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. With the starting defensive end out, expect Tanoh Kpassagnon and Carl Granderson to see increased usage opposite Cameron Jordan.

  • Clears injury designation

    Davenport (shoulder) logged a full practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Davenport showed up as a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder issue, which he's been saddled with since at least the opening of minicamp. His shift to full participation Thursday all but assures the 26-year-old will be able to suit up Sunday against the Vikings in London.

  • Dealing with shoulder issue

    Davenport was limited at practice Wednesday with a shoulder injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport popped up on the injury report Wednesday with the shoulder issue that has plagued him for months. Considering that he was able to practice in a limited capacity to open the week, the defensive end appears set to play in Week 4 versus the Vikings.

  • Off PUP list

    Davenport (shoulder) passed his physical and can now practice with the team, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport opened camp on the PUP list after also missing minicamp. Now that he's been cleared, Davenport can practice with the team. He'll be working to build off his career-best fourth season where he totaled 39 tackles, three forced fumbles and nine sacks in just 11 games.

  • Starting training camp on PUP list

    Davenport (shoulder) was added to the Saints' physically unable to perform list Thursday, Romni Dijohn of WDSU.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport will have to be medically cleared from this list before he's able to participate in New Orleans' training camp that starts next week. The 25-year-old did not practice during minicamp while recovering from separate shoulder and finger surgeries undergone this offseason. Saints coach Dennis Allen said in June that he expects Davenport to be back for training camp, so it's possible the starting defensive end could be activated off this list before the start of the regular season.

  • Recovering from finger surgery

    Davenport (shoulder) had the top portion of his left pinkie finger amputated earlier in the offseason, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport experienced an infection after a plate, which was inserted during a prior surgery, broke in his finger, prompting the amputation. The 25-year-old also underwent surgery on his right shoulder in January but still hopes to be healthy in time for training camp.

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Davenport didn't practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Davenport will continue to rehab his shoulder during minicamp, but the Saints expect him be back for training camp. The 2018 first-round pick registered 39 tackles, nine sacks, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery -- all career highs -- last season and looks poised to replicate that success in 2022 despite a minor offseason injury.

  • Will play Sunday

    Davenport (ankle) will play against the Falcons on Sunday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport didn't practice for part of the week, but he feels well enough to suit up in a pivotal game for the Saints' season. He should draw the start on the edge of the Saints' defensive line, as usual.

  • DNP on Thursday

    Davenport (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: The defensive end appears to have left the Saints' Week 17 win over the Panthers a little worse for wear, causing him to miss each of the first two practices of the week with an ankle injury. Davenport still has one more opportunity to make it onto the practice field Friday, but if he can't play in Week 18 against the Falcons, Jalyn Holmes could end up starting in his place.

  • Cleared to face Jets

    Davenport (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Davenport will make his return after a two-game absence. Injuries have limited the defensive end to six appearances this season, but Davenport's been effective when available, racking up 5.5 sacks in those six games.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Davenport (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas.

    Analysis: Davenport was unable to practice in any fashion this week due to the shoulder injury he suffered back in Week 11. Hopefully the extended rest before his team's Week 14 matchup with the Jets will provide enough time for Davenport to get back on the field.

  • Yet to practice

    Davenport (shoulder) has been a non-particpant at practice for consecutive days to start the week.

    Analysis: With the Saints playing the Cowboys on Thursday, Davenport's absence from practice means he is not yet trending in the right direction. He missed the team's Thanksgiving loss to the Bills due to a shoulder injury suffered the week prior.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Davenport (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Davenport had 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks Sunday against the Eagles, but he apparently suffered a shoulder injury and was unable to practice this week. The Saints will be short on depth at defensive end since Tanoh Kpassagnon (ankle) is also unavailable Thursday.

  • Gets to quarterback twice

    Davenport recorded three tackles and two sacks in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Davenport's sacks came at key points in the game and kept the Saints within striking distance of the Titans. He first took down Ryan Tannehill for a seven-yard loss early in the third quarter, a stop that led directly to a punt. He stalled another Tennessee drive early in the fourth quarter by sacking Tannehill and forcing a field goal rather than a potential game-sealing touchdown. Davenport now has four sacks on the season, which is tied for the team lead.

  • Posts best outing of season

    Davenport notched six tackles (three solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Davenport registered a season-high six tackles Sunday, while also notching his second sack of the season. The 25-year-old defensive end also forced Mike Davis to fumble on the Falcons' final drive, but the running back was able to regain control of the ball, which ultimately saved Atlanta's game-winning drive.

    Davenport (shoulder) was activated from injured reserve Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Davenport (shoulder) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Davenport has been on the shelf since going down with the shoulder injury Week 1, but he's nearing a return to full health. The 25-year-old now has a 21-day practice window in which he can be reinstated to the active roster.

  • Out at least three weeks

    The Saints placed Davenport (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Davenport was forced from Week 1 action early with a pectoral injury that eventually was revealed to be a strain. Ultimately, he didn't practice this week before New Orleans made the decision to shut him down for at least the next three weeks. Davenport can return as early as Week 5 in Washington, but an ensuing bye week may spur the team to push his return back further. While Davenport is sidelined, Carl Granderson and Tanoh Kpassagnon (calf) will fill in at defensive end opposite Cameron…read more

  • Sidelined to start week

    Davenport (pectoral) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Davenport remains without a clear timetable for a return to the field after exiting the team's Week 1 game with the injury. He hasn't yet been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Carolina at this point, but it wouldn't be all that surprising if he ended up missing the contest.

  • Diagnosed with pectoral strain

    Davenport was diagnosed with a pectoral strain after he underwent an MRI on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Davenport recorded three tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Packers, but he's expected to miss some time due to his pectoral injury. He doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, but the Saints are hopeful that the 2018 first-rounder will be back in action sooner rather than later.

  • Awaiting MRI results

    Davenport (pectoral) had an MRI on Monday and is awaiting his results, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Davenport registered a sack during the Saints' impressive defensive performance Sunday, but New Orleans may be without its star pass rusher for Week 2. The 25-year-old has played in at least 11 games in each of his first three seasons in the league.

  • Three tackles against Jaguars

    Davenport totaled three tackles and a quarterback hit during Monday's preseason game against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: After putting together a strong performance in the preseason opener, Davenport was noticeably disruptive the entire first half. While the 24-year-old hasn't quite lived up to expectations since New Orleans traded up to make him a first-round pick in 2018, Davenport is healthy and he remains a strong breakout candidate in IDP formats.

  • Gets fifth-year option

    The Saints have exercised Davenport's fifth-year option, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Davenport now remains under contract with the Saints through the 2022 campaign, in an expected move. After taking a step back in 2020, with just 1.5 sacks through 11 appearances, Davenport will now have two more years to prove himself in New Orleans' system.

  • Takes step back in 2020

    Davenport racked up 21 tackles (12 solo), 2.0 passes defended and 1.5 sacks across 11 regular-season games for the Saints in 2020.

    Analysis: Davenport's production took a noticeable step back in 2020, at least partially due to the career-low 11 games and 374 defensive snaps played. The tackles and sacks were the lowest marks of his career, and he failed to force a fumble after forcing four across his first two seasons. Under contract with New Orleans in 2021, he'll look to return and improve on his 2020 numbers.

  • Good to go

    Davenport (concussion) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: Davenport progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol and will miss only one game as a result of the injury. Trey Hendrickson continues to start ahead of Davenport, but the two essentially split time at defensive end. That hasn't led to much production for Davenport, as he's posted just 13 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups through seven games this year.

  • Out with concussion

    Davenport (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Davenport was unable to practice Thursday or Friday after starting to feel the symptoms of a concussion he sustained last Sunday. The defensive end will look to get back out there against the Eagles in Week 14.

  • Dealing with concussion symptoms

    Davenport (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Per coach Sean Payton, Davenport suffered the concussion in last week's win over the Broncos but didn't start feeling symptoms until later in the week, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Advocate reports. Davenport will need to have his symptoms subside quickly and clear the concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday in Atlanta.

  • Records sack in victory

    Davenport totaled two tackles (one solo) and a sack in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Davenport (toe) made his season debut in Week 5 and failed to record a tackle, though he had a better showing against Carolina. Davenport accounted for New Orleans' only sack of the afternoon and will look to build momentum heading into a Week 8 showdown with Chicago.

    Davenport (toe) is active for Monday's game versus the Chargers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Davenport sat out the first four games of the season but has been cleared to return to action. The 2018 first-round pick is expected to start at defensive end and pressure rookie Justin Herbert. Davenport recorded 10.5 sacks over his first two NFL seasons.

  • Tagged as questionable

    Davenport (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Davenport is making progress toward his season debut, as he was limited in practice all week -- the most he's been on the field all year. The 2018 first-round pick is slated to start at defensive end if he's able to suit up, and he'll have the luxury of chasing down rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, who will be playing his first primetime game.

  • Won't play in Week 4

    Davenport (elbow/toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Davenport missed New Orleans' last two practices after getting a limited session in Wednesday to start the week. The Saints will be without a number of key contributors Sunday, as wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle), tight end Jared Cook (groin) and cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) and Janoris Jenkins (shoulder) will be joining Davenport on the sidelines. That group will have an extra day to heal up in Week 5, as the Saints are scheduled to play the Chargers on Monday that week.

  • Can't practice Thursday

    Davenport (elbow) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Davenport managed to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, so it's somewhat worrying to see him downgrade back to a 'DNP' designation. The 2018 first-round pick still has yet to make his 2020 debut, but he stands to play an immediate starting role once able to take the field.

  • Could return in Week 4

    Coach Sean Payton believes Davenport (elbow) may be able to return in Week 4 versus the Lions, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Davenport has yet to play in his third NFL season, but he's making progress and logged two limited practices last week. Once he's ready to go, the 2018 first-round pick should immediately start at defensive end and look to build on last year's 31 tackles and six sacks through 13 games.

  • Can't face Packers

    Davenport (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Davenport was initially listed as questionable for Sunday, but he'll ultimately be forced to miss a third straight contest due to his elbow injury. Trey Hendrickson again stands to fill in for Davenport at defensive end.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Davenport (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: After missing the first two games of the season due to an elbow injury, Davenport set himself up for a return with limited practices both Thursday and Friday. If he returns this weekend, he may split pass-rushing reps with Trey Hendrickson, who filled in for Davenport during his absence but similarly is questionable to play due to a groin issue.

  • Makes practice appearance

    Davenport (elbow) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Davenport has missed the past two weeks of games and practices, so the fact that he was back on the practice field is an extremely positive sign. It's still no guarantee he'll be ready for Sunday night's game against the Packers, but if he's cleared, he'll assume his normal starting role.

    Analysis: Davenport hasn't practiced the last two weeks, so it's not surprising that the 24-year-old DE will sit out. Trey Hendrickson was deployed as the starter in Davenport's place in Week 1, but Carl Granderson logged a sizable workload as well.

  • Unable to practice Friday

    Davenport (elbow) didn't practice Friday.

    Analysis: The Saints don't play the Raiders until Monday, but Davenport's in danger of missing a second straight game to start the season. The 2018 first-round pick will aim to practice in some capacity Saturday to have a chance at playing Monday, but if he can't go, Trey Hendrickson should start at DE while Carl Granderson rotates in.

  • No practice Thursday

    Davenport (elbow) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Davenport also didn't practice in any capacity last week, leading to his being inactive for the Saints' win over Tampa Bay in Week 1. If he's unable to progress enough in his recovery to suit up in Las Vegas on Monday, Trey Hendrickson will be in line to draw another start.

  • Ruled out for Week 1

  • Missing more time

    Davenport (elbow) didn't suit up in Thursday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: It was the second consecutive day that Davenport has missed practice completely, casting some doubt for his Week 1 availability. He'll have one more practice to have a chance to suit up in before Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, but if he can't go, Trey Hendrickson would likely be in line for the start at defensive end.

  • Aiming for big 2020

    Defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen said Davenport (foot) is expected to make big strides entering his third season.

    Analysis: The 2018 first-round pick has been solid but not outstanding through his first two seasons, recording 53 total tackles, 10.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 26 games. Davenport underwent foot surgery in mid-December after suffering a Lisfranc injury, but there have been no apparent setbacks in his rehab program.

  • Placed on IR

    Davenport (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

    Analysis: Davenport is expected to undergo surgery on his left foot after suffering the devastating injury during Sunday's loss to the 49ers, ultimately bringing an end to a quality 2019 campaign in which he collected 31 tackles (15 solo), six sacks and three forced fumbles in 13 games. Davenport will likely be replaced by Trey Hendrickson across from veteran Cameron Jordan, while the Saints also signed Noah Spence to provide additional depth at defensive end.

  • Season likely over

    Davenport is expected to require season-ending surgery on his left foot, which he injured in Sunday's 48-46 loss to the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The loss of Davenport represents a big blow to the New Orleans defensive line, which now looks like an area of concern after it had been one of the team's strengths for most of the season. Along with the injury to Davenport, the Saints will also have to contend with the potential loss of defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, who hurt his ankle in the loss to San Francisco. A first-round pick in 2018, Davenport has recorded six sacks and 31 tackles through 13 games. Trey Hendrickson would be the…read more

  • Records two sacks in win

    Davenport recorded four tackles (all solo), two sacks and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 26-18 win over the Falcons on Thursday.

    Analysis: It's been a productive two weeks for Davenport. After failing to record a sack from Weeks 5-11, he's now gotten to the quarterback three times in that span. He'll try to keep up the high level of play when the 49ers pay a visit to the Saints in Week 14.

  • First sack since Week 5

    Davenport finished with three tackles (one solo), one sack and a tackle for a loss in the Saints' 34-31 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Davenport got to Kyle Allen for one of the Saints' four sacks on the night. He's had an under-the-radar campaign as he has managed just 23 tackles (nine solo) on the season. The sack was his first since Week 5, so Davenport isn't a consistent fantasy option.
