Packers: Josiah Deguara returns to practice on Friday Packers TE Josiah Deguara returned to practice on Friday. The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a number of injuries at the moment, but the...
DNP to kick off practice week Deguara (shin) did not participate during the Packers' practice session Thursday.
Impact The rookie third-round draft choice has missed each of Green Bay's last two outings, after collecting one catch for 12 yards during a Week 1 win against the Vikings. It appeared the rookie was in line for a moderately-involved role prior to the injury, as he saw the field for 31 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps against Minnesota. Now facing a potential third consecutive absence during Green Bay's Monday night showdown against Atlanta, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger stand to serve as Aaron Rodgers' top pass-catching tight ends against the Falcons.

Not playing Week 3 Deguara (ankle)Â is listed as inactive Sunday in New Orleans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Impact After opening his career with one catch on a 31-percent offensive snap share Week 1, Deguara will miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the Packers may use more two-TE sets than normal, setting up Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis and Jace Sternberger for increased usage.

Unlikely to play Sunday Deguara (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans.
Impact Sidelined Week 2 due to shin and ankle injuries, Deguara made an attempt to practice this week, putting in a limited showing Wednesday. However, he was unable to participate at all Thursday and Friday and seems poised for a second consecutive absence. Look for Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis to split most of the TE reps in Deguara's stead, with Jace Sternberger acting as the third option at the position.

Sits out Thursday Deguara (shin/ankle) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice after being limited in Wednesday's session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Deguara's pattern of practice participation is following a similar trajectory to last week, as he logged a limited session Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday, ultimately receiving an inactive designation for Week 2 against the Lions. The 23-year-old rookie kicked off his NFL career with a 12-yard catch in the season debut against Minnesota, but it appears based on the latest injury report that he is unlikely to play Week 3 against a New Orleans defense that has allowed more tight-end receptions (20) than any other team in the NFL.

Limited in Wednesday's session Deguara (shin/ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ahead of Week 2, Deguara was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice but sat out Thursday and Friday, ultimately ending up inactive against the Lions. Thursday's practice report should give a better indication of his status for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 ⢠ROTOWIRE
Out for Week 2 Deguara (shin/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact Deguara missed the Packers' last two practice sessions of the week with his leg injuries, and he will not play Sunday for the same reason. Deguara's absence should open up some snaps for the other three tight ends on the Packers' roster, and possibly some targets for Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger, in particular.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 ⢠ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday Deguara (shin/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Deguara began the week as a limited participant, but he's now missed back-to-back sessions and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 2. The rookie tight end was involved on offense during his NFL debut, as he drew two targets. If he misses time, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger could see slightly more opportunities.

Has shin, ankle injuries Deguara didn't practice Thursday due to shin and ankle injuries, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The downgrade in activity level is somewhat concerning, as Deguara was listed as limited with a shin issue Wednesday. Now with another health concern in tow, he may be trending in the wrong direction for a Week 2 matchup with the Lions. Continue to watch his status as the weekend approaches.

'Real confidence' helps Adams succeed as Rodgers' top target
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he could sense early in Davante Adams' career that the wide receiver was capable of big thingsSEPTEMBER 17, 2020 ⢠Associated Press
Limited by shin injury Deguara was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact In his NFL debut Week 1 at Minnesota, Deguara ranked third among Packers tight ends in offensive snaps behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis, and ahead of Jace Sternberger. In the process, Deguara hauled in one of two targets for 12 yards. This injury could inhibit him some throughout the week, and Friday's injury report will provide a sense of his ability to play Sunday against the Lions.

Rookie TE Josiah Deguara came as advertised in Packers debut Third-round pick did a little of everything in Sundayâs win over Minnesota
SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 ⢠PACKERS.COM
Buried on initial depth chart Deguara is listed third, along with Jace Sternberger, on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.
Impact Deguara looks set to begin his career behind both Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan, while mixing in alongside second-year pro Sternberger for work. The rookie third-round pick's versatility and impressive athleticism should make him a candidate to earn a larger role as his development progresses, but he's an unlikely option for fantasy success to kick off the 2020 season.
