Davenport Returns: Lions Boost Pass Rush for Thanksgiving Clash

The Detroit Lions have activated defensive end Marcus Davenport from injured reserve, marking his return to the field after a pectoral muscle injury. Davenport has been sidelined since Week 2, significantly impacting the team's ability to generate pass rush. His return provides a much-needed boost opposite Aidan Hutchinson, who currently leads the team in sacks.

This activation was part of several roster adjustments made by the Lions. Notably, Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow has officially rejoined the team after a short-lived retirement, strengthening their offensive line. The team also made moves at other positions, waiving a running back and promoting players from the practice squad.

These roster changes aim to solidify the Lions' lineup for upcoming games, particularly with injuries affecting other key players. The team is addressing depth at tight end and backup center due to current player absences, signaling a strategic approach to maintain competitiveness.
