Josiah Deguara - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Second reception this season Deguara was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears.

Impact Deguara has caught only two passes all season, but that's one more than he caught last year during his rookie campaign, when a torn ACL limited him to just two appearances. Deguara has played at least 20 percent of the snaps in four straight games, but he is operating as the Packers' third tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

Remains limited at practice Deguara (concussion) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Deguara remained limited as he recovers from the concussion that he sustained Week 1. It's unclear exactly where he stands in his quest through the protocol for head injuries, but he seems destined to enter the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco. Meanwhile, Dominique Dafney (hip) joined Deguara as a limited participant Thursday, leaving just two healthy tight ends (Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis) on the active roster.

Limited at Wednesday's practice Deguara (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Deguara missed Monday's win over the Lions after suffering a concussion in the season opener, but his return to practice Wednesday indicates he's progressing in his recovery. The 24-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol to have a chance of suiting up this weekend at San Francisco.

Unavailable Monday Deguara (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Deguara was considered doubtful for Monday's contest after sitting out practice all week, so it's not a surprise to see him on the inactive list. Dominique Dafney will serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • Associated Press

Listed as doubtful Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lions.

Impact Deguara hasn't practiced all week so it would be very surprising to see the 2020 third-round pick available Monday. Any missed time will likely see Dominique Dafney get a larger role along with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Friday's practice Deguara (concussion) missed practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Deguara was forced to leave the Packers' season opener early with a concussion. The tight end missed practice Thursday and just missed practice Friday, so his status for Monday's game is uncertain as of now. Expect Dominique Dafney to have a larger role against the Lions if Deguara can't play.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Deguara (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Deguara sustained a concussion in Sunday's season opener against the Saints and was unable to participate in the team's first practice of the week. His status for Monday's game against the Lions will likely come into focus based on whether he's able to return to practice this weekend.

Green Bay Packers tight end Josiah Deguara lost for rest of game after scary concussion Packers tight end Josiah Deguara, who missed most of 2020 with an ACL tear, left Sunday's season opener after taking a hit to the head.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • JSONLINE.COM

Won't return Sunday Deguara suffered a concussion and has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact It was a scary scene in Jacksonville as Deguara was down for several minutes while trainers looked at him, but he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power. If the 24-year-old can't return for Week 2 against Detroit, Dominique Dafney may get some extra snaps as Green Bay's no. 3 tight end.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in team drills Deguara (knee) participated in team drills during Thursday's practice, Marques Eversoll of The Fan 107.5 reports.

Impact Deguara also participated in team drills during joint practices with the Jets last week, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press Gazette, but the second-year tight end didn't suit up for last weekend's preseason game against New York. However, Deguara's continued participation in team drills this week suggests he didn't suffer any sort of setback, so it seems possible he could take the field for the Packers' preseason finale Saturday against the Bills.

Comes off PUP list The Packers activated Deguara (knee) from the PUP list Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While Demovsky noted Deguara has been medically cleared from the torn ACL he suffered last Oct. 5 against the Falcons, he likely will be eased into practice considering he's only 10 months removed from the injury. Robert Tonyan is the clear-cut receiving tight end in Green Bay, and Marcedes Lewis handles key blocking duties. As a result, Deguara, a 2020 third-round pick, may be fighting for not much more than a peripheral role in the Packers offense.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on PUP list Deguara was placed on the Active/PUP-List Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Deguara is returning from an ACL injury that ended his rookie campaign after just two weeks. Prior to the injury, he saw a substantial amount of first-team reps. In his absence, Robert Tonyan proceeded to enjoy a breakout season and will enter 2021as the team's No. 1 tight end. However, Deguara does not project as a traditional tight end, as he is expected to display his versatitlity in the backfield, on the line and even in the slot. Still, it remains to be seen how close he is to returning to full-contact work.

Could be ready for camp Deguara (knee) may have progressed far enough in his recovery from a torn ACL to participate in the beginning of training camp, Jason Wilde of the Lacrosse Tribune reports.

Impact Deguara handled a substantial amount of first-team reps as a rookie last offseason, but a torn ACL ended his inaugural NFL campaign after just two games. On the bright side, the timing of Deguara's injury should allow him to fully recover by Week 1. Deguara and teammate David Bakhtiari (knee), who is also working his way back from a torn ACL, did rehab work together during OTAs earlier this offseason.
