New Orleans Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport will need season-ending surgery to repair an injury sustained to his foot, according to an NFL Network report.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport first reported the news Tuesday evening. Rapoport later reported that Davenport saw Dr. Robert Anderson, a foot expert based out of Green Bay who serves as the Packers’ assistant team physician, for a second opinion.
Davenport left Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter with a non-contact injury.

13METAIRIE, La. — Leonard Fournette is about to put one of the NFL’s most underrated streaks to the test.
The New Orleans Saints have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 31 straight games, including the playoffs — the longest active streak in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
But now they will be facing a resurgent Fournette on his home turf at Jacksonville on Sunday. The powerful 6-foot, 228-pound running back ranks third in the NFL with 512 rushing yards after busting loose for 225 yards two weeks ago and 108 last week.
