EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings placed pass-rusher Marcus Davenport on injured reserve Wednesday, the result of a left ankle sprain he suffered during the team's 19-13 victory Sunday at Chicago.
Davenport will miss at least four games, if not more, and the earliest he will be eligible to return is for the Vikings' Week 11 game at the Denver Broncos.
Davenport signed a one-year, $13 million free agent deal with the Vikings as a fresh start following five injury-plagued seasons with the New Orleans Saints, who made him a first-round draft pick in in 2018.
