Pre-draft picture: Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave charge into Year 3 Pro Bowl running back leads Green Bay’s deep backfield
APRIL 16 • PACKERS.COM
Limited in second season Musgrave was targeted 10 times and caught seven passes for 45 yards across seven games in the 2024 season.
Impact Musgrave was a trendy sleeper heading into his sophomore campaign after showing some flashes as a rookie, but he was quietly surpassed by fellow tight end Tucker Kraft over the offseason, and he got off to a slow start before missing 10 games from Week 5 onward. Musgrave returned in Week 16, but by that point Kraft had solidified his grasp as Green Bay's top tight end, and Musgrave filled a bit role the rest of the way. A 2023 second-round pick, Musgrave still possesses some upside heading into his third season, but heading into 2025 he will be no better than the backup tight end for the Packers.

Snap count increases Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Impact Musgrave made only a minor mark in the box score, but he did get 16 snaps after playing 12 the week before and eight in his Week 16 return from an extended absence. Musgrave remains the second option at his position behind Tucker Kraft, but he could be more involved in the postseason with Green Bay needing to account for the loss of wideout Christian Watson (knee).
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted once in loss Musgrave caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Musgrave's reception Sunday was his first catch since Week 4 after missing the majority of the season with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old tight end has been eased back into the mix, playing just 12 of the Packers' 63 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Tucker Kraft played 54 snaps in the contest. Musgrave will likely continue to play a smaller role going forward, especially with Kraft proving to be an effective option in the passing game. The Packers visit the Bears in Week 18.

Clear for Sunday's contest Musgrave (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact In the wake of logging eight offensive snaps Monday versus the Saints in his first game action since Week 4, Musgrave was listed as limited on all three Week 17 practice reports due to his prior ankle issue. With his status clarified ahead of Sunday's contest, he's a candidate to ramp up his workload a bit behind No. 1 TE Tucker Kraft (hip), who also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Musgrave will be vying for reserve reps with John FitzPatrick and Ben Sims.
DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Remains limited Thursday Musgrave (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Impact Green Bay has placed practice restrictions on both Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (hip) this week, but it doesn't appear as if either player's status is in peril for Sunday's game at Minnesota. Friday's injury report may provide clarity on the overall situation at tight end for the Packers in Week 17.
DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Limited listing to begin week Musgrave (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Impact Both Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (hip) have LP next to their names on the Packers' first Week 17 injury report, but at least Musgrave's health concern is an existing one, while Kraft's is new. In his first game action since Week 4 on Monday against the Saints, Musgrave was targeted once among his eight offensive snaps.
DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Monday Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Monday against the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Musgrave thus will be available for the first time since Week 4 after completing his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October. Tucker Kraft has taken over as Green Bay's No. 1 TE, but Musgrave should be in the mix for snaps and targets at the position along with Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick. In four games before the injury, Musgrave hauled in five of seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns.

Officially comes off IR The Packers activated Musgrave (ankle) off injured reserve Monday.
Impact Musgrave had been on IR since Oct. 11 due to an ankle injury. He was designated to return Dec. 11 but didn't play last Sunday against Seattle. However, Musgrave logged a trio of limited practices this week and now appears set to return to action Monday. Tucker Kraft will likely continue working at Green Bay's top tight end, though once Musgrave has ramped up enough, he could eat into Kraft's opportunities.

Expected to suit up vs. Saints Musgrave (ankle) is in line to be activated from IR and suit up for Monday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Musgrave is officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football and currently remains on IR, but Green Bay is expected to activate him prior to the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline. The second-year tight end figures to be worked back into action in his return to the field from ankle surgery undergone due to an injury sustained Week 4, especially with Tucker Kraft still available atop the depth chart.

Questionable, still on IR Musgrave (ankle), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact For a second week in a row, Musgrave operated with a cap on his practice reps, but this time around he actually has a chance to play for the first time since Week 4. He'll need to be activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday to get back on the active roster, and the Packers then will be required to post a list of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which he'll need to avoid to be available again to Green Bay's offense.

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.
DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Back at practice, Luke Musgrave hopes to aid Packers' final push Second-year tight end was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday
DECEMBER 12, 2024 • PACKERS.COM
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, 2024 • 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.
