News about Marcus Davenport

D'Onta Foreman, the Carolina Panthers' running back, has apologised for punching Saints defensive end Marcus Davenport during Sunday's game. After Davenport tackled Foreman in the third quarter of play, the two players exchanged blows, and Foreman said his conduct during the scuffle was "completely out of my character." 'I sincerely and completely apologize for my involvement in yesterday's game and not being able to assist,' Foreman said.

With both teams already discarded from playoff contention, the Saints and Panthers' Week 18 finale was rendered meaningless, but that did not stop tensions from boiling over. Davenport, the Saints' defensive lineman, made a tackle on Panthers' Foreman, which resulted in the two exchanging terms. Both squadmates arrived in an effort to break up and diffuse the tension, but the two adversaries managed to get up to one another's faces. Davenport then threw more words at Foreman, securing Panthers' Ian Thomas in the process.
