Vikings Defender to Hit the Shelf Indefinitely

The Minnesota Vikings already have Justin Jefferson on the shelf for the next three-plus games, and another prominent player will reportedly join him soon.

Marcus Davenport was injured Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field during the Vikings 19-13 ugly-but-important win over the Chicago Bears. He came up hobbled in the 2nd Quarter and did not return.
