Luke Musgrave - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to play in 2026 Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that he's "really hopeful" Musgrave (neck) will be able to play at some point during the 2026 season, Ryan Wood of USA Today re...

Impact Green Bay placed Musgrave on the PUP list Sunday, ensuring that he'll miss at least the first four contests of the campaign. Musgrave is far from a lock to be activated when first eligible to play Week 5, as he was unable to practice at any point in training camp or the preseason after injuring his neck during June minicamp. Perhaps in part due to Musgrave's hazy return timeline in addition to the thin depth behind top tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), the Packers signed veteran Jonnu Smith to a one-year deal last week to bolster the position group.

Moved to reserve/PUP list Musgrave (neck) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Impact Musgrave missed the entirety of the preseason while on the active/PUP list with a neck injury that he suffered during OTAs in June. The oft-injured tight end will now be forced to miss at least four contests to open the regular season. In his absence, new-acquired veteran Jonnu Smith will likely operate as the primary backup behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft (knee).

Impact Gutekunst said that Green Bay's policy is to always be cautious with neck injuries. If Musgrave is able to return to the practice field in short order, he may be able to benefit from increased reps while Tucker Kraft (ACL), who is also on the active/PUP list, progresses in his own recovery. That said, Kraft still appears to have a chance to be on the field in Week 1, potentially relegating Musgrave to his usual depth role in any case. Musgrave appears to have sustained his neck injury during OTAs in June.

Moves to PUP list Musgrave (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Packers on Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The tight end is still dealing with an undisclosed injury that he suffered during OTAs in June. It remains unclear how serious the injury is, so it's possible that Musgrave will be able to return during training camp. He caught 24 passes for 252 yards and no touchdowns in 2025 during the regular season.

Dealing with injury Musgrave sustained an injury during Packers' practice Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't disclose Musgrave's injury, but the tight end was spotted on a treadmill in the rehab area during Wednesday's practice. Despite Tucker Kraft (knee) missing Green Bay's final nine regular-season games in 2025, Musgrave remained a minimal part of the offense, catching just 24 of 31 targets for 252 yards. Once he returns to full health, he'll likely battle for one of the Packers' reserve TE spots.

Quiet end to regular season Musgrave played just two offensive snaps and was not targeted during Green Bay's regular-season finale against the Vikings.

Impact Musgrave has operated as Green Bay's top tight end since Tucker Kraft (ACL) suffered a season-ending injury Week 9. His receiving production has been underwhelming, however, and despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games, Musgrave has totaled just 24 catches for 252 yards (on 31 targets) without a single touchdown. He surpassed 50 receiving yards in just one of those 17 appearances. Musgrave will continue to handle the No. 1 tight end role during Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Bears.

Remains involved Saturday Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears.

Impact The third-year pro from Oregon State tallied the second-most receiving yards on the Packers during Saturday's loss, trailing Romeo Doubs (5-84-1). Musgrave's role may be growing on Green Bay's offense, as he's caught seven of nine targets for 90 yards over the last two games. However, he likely won't have much fantasy value in the Week 17 matchup against the Ravens, especially with injuries to both Jordan Love (concussion) and Malik Willis (shoulder).

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted six times in loss Musgrave caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Musgrave reached season highs in targets, receptions and yards Sunday, as the 25-year-old tight end was a much bigger part of the Packers' offensive attack against the Broncos. With that said, the veteran played 52 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps while fellow tight end John FitzPatrick had a 70 percent snap share. Even with Musgrave's spike in targets over the past two weeks, he remains difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Bears.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two snags in victory Musgrave caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.

Impact Musgrave corralled multiple passes for the first time since Week 10, and his day was nearly much more impressive, narrowly failing to reel in a 34-yard throw from Jordan Love in the first quarter. The tight end has had an opportunity to carve out a larger role for himself on offense with Tucker Kraft (knee) done for the year, but Musgrave's production has remained underwhelming.

Just one grab against Detroit Musgrave caught his only target for a 23-yard reception in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

Impact The third-year tight end continues to see a limited role in the Packers' passing attack, even with Tucker Kraft (knee) lost for the season. Musgrave has hauled in a single pass in three straight games, and in four contests since Kraft went down, he's managed just a 6-52-0 line on eight targets. He'll be little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 14 against the Bears.

Remains in limited role Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.

Impact The Packers used their tight ends in almost the exact same fashion as they did in Week 11, with John FitzPatrick playing the most snaps and Josh Whyle and Musgrave sharing the work behind him. As also was the case in Week 11, none of them -- including Musgrave -- made a noticeable fantasy impact.
