Luke Musgrave's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) underwent ankle surgery. "He will hopefully be back later this season," LaFleur said. Musgrave was placed on Injured Reserve on Oct. 11 due to his ankle injury, but barring a setback in his recovery, he'll have a chance to return to the team later this season. The 24-year-old quickly took a back seat to fellow TE Tucker Kraft as a pass-catcher in the early portion of 2024 before injuring his ankle. The second-round pick in 2023 out of Oregon State had five catches for 22 yards in four games before getting hurt after putting up a 34-352-1 line in 11 regular-season games in his rookie campaign. When Musgrave returns later this season, he'll most likely go back to playing second fiddle to Kraft. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can continue to ignore him.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) was placed on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. As a result, Musgrave will be sidelined for at least the next four games due to an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has had a slow start to the campaign, catching only five passes across the first four weeks with just 22 yards. Fantasy managers should expect 23-year-old Tucker Kraft to see the majority of opportunities at the position going forward. Kraft has enjoyed a nice breakout campaign and has caught 10 passes for 141 yards and three scores over the past two weeks. Kraft remains a TE1 going forward and has a favorable matchup this weekend against a weak Arizona secondary.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) "more than likely" will land on Injured Reserve due to his ankle injury, which will sideline him for at least four games. If the Packers put Musgrave on IR officially before the Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, he won't be eligible to return until after the Week 10 bye for a Week 11 divisional contest against the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old was active in the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams but didn't actually play. With Musgrave out for the foreseeable future, it's more good news for Tucker Kraft (groin), who scored two touchdowns last Sunday against the Rams. Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick will now be the backups to Kraft. Musgrave had just five catches on seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns in four games this year before his ankle injury.
