Luke Musgrave - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another limited showing Musgrave (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Musgrave has operated with a cap on his practice reps since the Packers designated him for return from injured reserve last Wednesday. He wasn't activated for the team's Week 15 win at Seattle, but coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Musgrave "potentially" may be able to play Monday against the Saints, as the tight end has "looked pretty good out there the last couple days," per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Saturday's injury report will reveal whether or not Musgrave has a designation for that contest.

Limited Thursday Musgrave (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Musgrave has been listed as limited on Packers injury reports since the team designated him for return from injured reserve last Wednesday. He's in the later stages of his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October, and he may need to get back to full participation by Saturday in order to have a chance to be activated ahead of Monday's game against the Saints.

Won't return in Week 15 Musgrave (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Seattle, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Green Bay designated Musgrave for return from injured reserve Wednesday, after which the second-year tight end cobbled together three limited practices. Considering he wasn't able to get back to full participation by week's end, it's no surprise he won't be available Week 15. Tucker Kraft will continue to serve as the Packers' top tight end Sunday, with Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick mixing in behind him. Musgrave's next chance to play will arrive Monday, Dec. 23 against the Saints.

Remains limited in practice Musgrave (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Packers designated Musgrave for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he's followed up the transaction with a pair of capped sessions to begin Week 15 prep. He's seeking his first game action since Week 4 as he closes in on completion of his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October. Whenever Musgrave is back in action, he'll slot in behind Green Bay's top TE Tucker Kraft.

Limited in return to practice Musgrave (ankle) officially was limited in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With his return to on-field work, Musgrave's 21-day window in which to be evaluated and potentially activated from injured reserve has opened up. It's unclear if he has any chance to suit up Sunday at Seattle, but the Packers could make a ruling on his upcoming availability Friday (via their final Week 15 injury report) or Saturday (by activating him from IR). If he's cleared to play this weekend, Musgrave still would be the second option, at best, behind top TE Tucker Kraft.

Back at practice Wednesday Musgrave (ankle) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Musgrave had ankle surgery and was placed on IR on Oct. 11 as a result, but his return to the practice field Wednesday opens up a 21-day window for Green Bay to get him back in the active roster. Even before the injury, though, he surpassed a 50 percent snap share just one time over the first four games of the season and compiled a 5-22-0 line on seven targets during that span. Whenever he's able to play again, Musgrave will be second fiddle to Tucker Kraft among Packers tight ends.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured reserve The Packers placed Musgrave (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.

Impact During a media session Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Musgrave "more than likely" would require an IR stint due to the ankle injury that has plagued him the last two weeks, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Now that the move is official, the team will lean on Tucker Kraft to continue handling a majority share of the TE snaps, while Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick, who was signed off the Falcons' practice squad this week, will be on hand for any reps that linger. LaFleur also told Hodkiewicz that there's hope Musgrave will return later in the season, which implies he may miss more than the required four games on IR during his recovery.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Likely heading to IR Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Musgrave (ankle) "more than likely" will be placed on injured reserve, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Musgrave didn't practice at all last week due to an ankle injury, and while he was able to suit up this past Sunday at the Rams, he didn't see the field. He then managed a limited session to kick off Week 6 prep Wednesday, but the aforementioned health concern now will require some time to recover from. "He's been delaing with something and fighting through," LaFleur added. "He's gonna be down for some time." There's some "hope" that Musgrave will be able to return later this season, as LaFleur told Hodkiewicz. In the meantime, though, Tucker Kraft will continue to be Green Bay's No. 1 TE, with Ben Sims and newcomer John FitzPatrick filling in behind him.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Musgrave (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Musgrave had the same injury last week and technically was active for a 24-19 win over the Rams, but he didn't play any snaps. It's possible he'll actually be available this coming Sunday against the Cardinals, rather than merely kept active in case of a emergency. Even so, Musgrave figures to have a part-time role behind Tucker Kraft, who caught 10 passes for 141 yards and three TDs over the past two games.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

No Week 5 snaps Musgrave did not play a snap in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact Musgrave suited up for Sunday's contest, but he did not practice at all last week due to an ankle injury, and he did not wind up stepping on the field. Even if he is fully healthy for Week 6, Musgrave will be behind Tucker Kraft in the pecking order at tight end.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

No Week 5 snaps Musgrave did not play a snap in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact Musgrave suited up for Sunday's contest, but he did not practice at all last week due to an ankle injury, and he did not wind up stepping on the field. Unless he is listed on the injury report Musgrave will be available for Week 6, and whenever he returns he will remain behind the emerging Tucker Kraft.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Available in Week 5 Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Musgrave focused on rehab of an ankle injury instead of practice during Week 5 prep, and it appears to have paid off for the second-year pro after testing out the issue pregame. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, though, Musgrave will be limited compared to past weeks, likely meaning he'll be hard-pressed to approach his typical snap shares of 26-56 percent on the season. Tucker Kraft will handle most of the TE reps for the Packers on Sunday, but Ben Sims and perhaps even Andrew Beck will be tasked with filling in behind him.

Will try to play Sunday Musgrave is aiming to test out his injured ankle prior to Sunday's Week 5 game against the Rams in hope of suiting up, but he'll be "limited at best" if he can play, Adam Schefter...

Impact Musgrave has been managing an ankle injury all week and wasn't able to participate in any practice sessions. Though it appears he'll try to play regardless, it seems the tight end is a true game-time call, and his fantasy ceiling will be very limited if he does play and is indeed limited. As it is, Musgrave has logged over 50 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in only one contest this season and has just five receptions for 22 yards through four games.

Impact Musgrave has been managing an ankle injury all week and wasn't able to participate in any practice sessions. Though he's aiming to play at less than full health, the tight end is shaping as a game-time call ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, and his fantasy ceiling will be limited if he does suit up. As it is, Musgrave has logged over 50 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in only one contest this season and has just five receptions for 22 yards through four games.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 5 Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road contest against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact According to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, Musgrave wasn't able to practice at all this week due to an ankle issue, but the team still is giving the second-year pro a chance to suit up Sunday. Musgrave's status will be clarified, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up he likely will continue to take a back seat to Green Bay's No. 1 TE Tucker Kraft. Meanwhile, Ben Sims would stand to experience an uptick in snaps, at the very least, if Musgrave is inhibited or out.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for another practice Musgrave (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Musgrave has now missed two straight practices with the ankle issue, so he'll likely need to take the field in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday against the Rams. If Musgrave can't go this weekend, top tight end Tucker Kraft would likely take on an even greater share of the snaps, while Ben Sims would slide up a spot on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to ankle issue Musgrave didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Musgrave logged a pair of limited sessions last week due to a quad injury before getting back to full participation Friday, which cleared him for Week 4 action. This time around, he skipped all drills to begin the week, suggesting that the current health concern is more serious. It's unclear if Musgrave may be in danger of sitting out Sunday at the Rams, but the next two days of practice likely will be key to determining his availability.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Makes most of opportunities Musgrave was targeted three times and had three receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Musgrave surpassed both the two receptions and nine yards he racked up over the first three weeks of the season, but his output and snap count (25) still paled in comparison to fellow tight end Tucker Kraft, who was on the field for 65 plays and racked up nine touches and a score. The Packers could utilize more two-tight-end formations if Christian Watson (ankle) misses time, but Musgrave remains well behind Kraft when it comes to fantasy value.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Week 4 Musgrave (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Impact Both of the Packers' top two tight ends tended to injuries this week, but Tucker Kraft was able to get back to full participation Thursday, while Musgrave did the same Friday. Considering both are clear for Week 4 action, Musgrave will continue to work behind Kraft, which so far has equated to snap shares in the range of 25-56 percent and a cumulative 2-9-0 line on four targets.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Musgrave (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Tucker Kraft (shoulder) joined Musgrave as a limited participant for the second day in a row, but the Packers haven't indicated that either of their top two tight ends are in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Vikings. Assuming both are cleared to play this weekend, Musgrave will likely operate as the No. 2 option, though he's seen his snap share pick up in each successive game this season. Musgrave topped out with a 56 percent share in this past Sunday's win over the Titans, but he drew just one target on the day.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by quad issue Musgrave practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

Impact The same can be said for the Packers' No. 1 TE Tucker Kraft, who is dealing with a shoulder issue for a second week in a row. Musgrave has increased his snap share each week this season, topping out at 56 percent this past Sunday at Tennessee, but his overall receiving line (2-9-0 on four targets) has left a lot to be desired.
