Catches 38-yard TD in playoff win Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys.

Impact Musgrave capitalized on a blown coverage in the third quarter, as he had time to stop, turn back to the quarterback and wait for the ball to get there before easily traversing the remaining distance to the end zone for a 38-yard touchdown. Musgrave and Tucker Kraft had three targets apiece, so Green Bay will likely continue to utilize both of its rookie tight ends in the Divisional Round against the 49ers.

Returning to action Sunday Musgrave (kidney) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Musgrave officially has completed his recovery from the lacerated kidney that has sidelined him since he suffered the internal injury back in Week 11 against the Chargers. Considering he had his practice reps capped the last two weeks, there's a chance he's somewhat inhibited in his return to action, especially with how fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has fared in Musgrave's stead. In any case, Musgrave has another chance to add to his first-year line of 33-341-1 on 45 targets in 10 appearances.

Packers activate TE Luke Musgrave and RB Emanuel Wilson from IR while placing S Rudy Ford on IR

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave has been activated from injured reserve in a move that signals the rookie’s possible return from a lacerated kidney

Comes off IR, still questionable The Packers activated Musgrave (kidney) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Musgrave has strung together back-to-back weeks of limited listings on Green Bay injury reports as he put the finishing touches on his recovery from the lacerated kidney that he sustained Week 11 against the Chargers. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he may serve in a secondary role behind fellow tight end Tucker Kraft as the former eases back into the rigors of game action. Prior to the IR stint, Musgrave was putting together a nice rookie campaign (33-341-1 on 45 targets in 10 games).

Questionable, yet to be activated Musgrave (kidney) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Musgrave was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 21, but he will need to be officially activated prior to Sunday's game in order to play. He was able to practice on a limited basis for a second consecutive week in hopes of returning to game action for the first time since Week 11. Fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has been filling in atop the depth chart in Musgrave's absence.

Stays limited Wednesday Musgrave (kidney) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Impact Musgrave is maintaining his activity level from last week, when he was listed as doubtful for Week 17 action and eventually wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of this past Sunday's game at Minnesota. Coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last Thursday that Musgrave must be medically cleared from his lacerated kidney and also look like himself in order to suit up on game days, which clearly hasn't come to pass. Musgrave will have two more chances this week to give the Packers enough evidence that activation from IR is a reasonable course of action before Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears.

Practicing Wednesday Musgrave (kidney) participated in individual drills at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Musgrave was designated for return from injured reserve last Thursday, but he went down as a DNP on the Packers' last two Week 16 injury reports. As the team opens Week 17 prep, he appears poised to be listed as limited Wednesday as he seeks to come back from the lacerated kidney that he sustained during a Week 11 win against the Chargers.

Moves on to rehabilitation Musgrave (kidney) was a part of the Packers' injury rehab group Thursday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Musgrave joined the likes of non-participants Christian Watson (hamstring) and AJ Dillon (thumb), while his healthy teammates went outside for practice. The rookie second-round pick has been sidelined since he was hospitalized following the Packers' Week 11 win against the Chargers due to a lacerated kidney, which forced an IR stint. So far, Musgrave has missed three games as a result of the injury, meaning he technically could be available Week 16 at Carolina. Perhaps his ability to progress to rehab Thursday is a positive sign in that direction, but until Musgrave is healthy, Tucker Kraft will continue to serve as Green Bay's top tight end.
