As the Vikings try to beef up their defense, they’ll be missing one of their beefiest presences.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that edge rusher Marcus Davenport suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday’s win over the Bears.
Rapoport adds that Davenport is a candidate to land on injured reserve, which would result in Davenport missing at least four games.
A former first-round pick of the Saints, Davenport signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Vikings in March.
He has two sacks in four games played this season.
