Packers Unsure If Luke Musgrave Will Play Again This Year

Packers Unsure If Luke Musgrave Will Play Again This Year

12 months ago

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt La Fleur said he doesn't know if rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) will be able to play again this year, but he isn't ruling him out and credits Musgrave's toughness. The Packers placed Musgrave on Injured Reserve after he suffered a lacerated kidney in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The earliest he can return will be Week 16, so fantasy managers in single-year formats can probably drop him if you haven't already. Josiah Deguara (hip) didn't play in the Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions either, allowing rookie Tucker Kraft to play 96% of the offensive snaps on Thanksgiving. Kraft had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown against Detroit and should have an expanded pass-catching role in Musgrave's absence the rest of the way.
