Marcus Davenport Likely To Miss Multiple Weeks

Minnesota Vikings pass-rusher Marcus Davenport (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 6 win over the Chicago Bears, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam. High-ankle sprains usually have a recovery timetable of four to six weeks, so Davenport will be a candidate to go on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. The 27-year-old was carted to the locker room in Sunday's 19-13 victory over the Bears. The former first-round pick in 2018 out of Texas-San Antonio has seven tackles (three solo), two sacks and four QB hits in four games in his first year in Minnesota. With Davenport now missing extended time, look for linebacker D.J. Wonnum to step into a starting role on defense for the Vikings.
