The Detroit Lions appear set to get a key defender back in Week 3, as veteran edge rusher Marcus Davenport is on track to play.
According to the team's official Thursday injury report, Davenport was listed as a full participant once again after starting off the week full. Davenport did not practice at all last week before sitting out.

Davenport's will provide a big boost to Detroit's pass-rush, which was still effective without him in Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after tallying 14 pressures, six of which came from Aidan Hutchinson alone, per Pro Football Focus.
Davenport, who was signed to help take pressure off Hutchinson, had an impressive debut with the Lions in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, as he totaled six pressures and a half a sack.
While certainly great news, Davenport remains a question mark moving forward due to his injury history. The fact that he missed a game already is an ominous sign, and that's why the Lions need to consider adding more EDGE help moving forward.
Here's a look at the Lions' full injury report for Thursday.
