Davenport has been dealing with an ankle injury since a practice before Minnesota's season-opener against Tampa Bay.
I went out there and tried it and wasn't at the place I should have been, so we were able to be smart and pull it back a little bit. I've been itching [to play]. Seeing our defense and what we were able to do and thinking about how I can contribute and add to it only gets me more excited.
