Davenport has been placed on injured reserve by the Vikings.
For the foreseeable future, the Minnesota Vikings will be without one of their major offseason additions.
Marcus Davenport, the team’s outside linebacker, was formally placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, which means he’ll miss at least the next four games against the 49ers, Packers, Falcons, and Saints.
Injuries had already restricted him earlier this season, causing him to miss Minnesota’s opening two games.
According to Over The Cap, Davenport inked a one-year, $13 million contract with the Vikings in the offseason and has showed some disruptive potential on the field. He’s only been in three games thus far, recording six tackles and two sacks.
On Wednesday, the Vikings also added running back Kene Nwangwu to the active roster. He’d been on injured reserve since the beginning of the regular season, and his 21-day return window began last week.
Jalen Nailor, another wide receiver on injured reserve, was also designated to return on Wednesday.
The Vikings (2-4) return to action Monday night when the San Francisco 49ers (5-1) visit U.S. Bank Stadium.
