[Merged] Davenport has pectoral injury. (Update per Rapoport: suffered a strain, will miss time but expected back "sooner rather than later") (2 Viewers)

I know Week 1 is liable for injuries but this is ridiculous.

Looks like a Maserati but built like a Fiero

His muscles just keep betraying him, poor guy. Just unreal how some guys like Cam Jordan never get injured, whereas some with seemingly equal or greater talent can't stay off the injured list.

That kid's connective tissue must be made of cotton candy.
He just comes apart too easy.

Hopefully it's just a strained pec and he's out only a month.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

I was afraid it would be a pec or biceps given there was no evident discomfort on the field. I hope it is not torn.

Some players are just simply injury prone. That is just the way it goes. Some players never get injured; (IE; Rickey Jackson). Davenport is one that is injury prone.

Terrible news and hope he isn't down long, but this is why you continue to draft lineman early.

And also why you don't burn 2 first round picks on one guy

 

[texasjefe]

Coach Pete seems like he kinda sucks as a trainer. Much better as an informant, yes?

 

[Blessedog]

A strain *could* put him on short term IR, a tear on any sort and his season is over. Hope it’s the former.

I don't think he's ever came close to playing a whole season.

I don't think he's ever came close to playing a whole season.

I'm trying to get confirmation as to whether he ever made it through an entire game.

It's a cliche, but it's so true: the number one ability is availability.
