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

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of Week 18. This is great news for the Packers as they will get back their rookie tight end before their must-win game against the Chicago Bears. Musgrave has been sidelined since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney. His return means that fellow tight end Tucker Kraft won't see as much involvement in the offense. Musgrave could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option given how banged up the Packers are on offense. The assumption is that Musgrave will be back to his every-down role.

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't played since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney, but he has been practicing on a limited basis the last two weeks and could be activated from IR on Saturday in order to help the Packers in a must-win game on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The 23-year-old second-rounder had 33 receptions on 45 targets for 341 yards and one touchdown in his first 10 NFL games before getting hurt, but if he is activated and is eligible this weekend, fantasy managers should expect him to be eased into the offense. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has been adequate as the team's pass-catching tight end the last six weeks with Musgrave sidelined.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said there's a possibility that rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) comes off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. "I'd say it's realistic, yes," LaFleur said. Musgrave put in another limited practice on Thursday, but he might need to upgrade to a full practice to convince the Packers to activate him from IR on Saturday in order to play on Sunday in a must-win game. A lacerated kidney has kept the 23-year-old out since Week 11, so even if he returns, he could be eased back onto the field. On top of it, fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has been holding down the fort nicely at the position with 23 catches for 281 yards and two touchdowns in six games with Musgrave sidelined. Musgrave's return would muddy Green Bay's TE situation for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney), who remains on Injured Reserve, was listed as limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Musgrave was also limited in practices last week before picking up a doubtful tag before the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old is recovering from a lacerated kidney that he suffered in Week 11, so he's likely going to need to put in a full practice later this week to be cleared to play in a must-win game this Sunday in Week 18 against the division-rival Chicago Bears. Even if the 23-year-old is able to play this weekend, he'll be a risky choice for fantasy lineups while likely being eased in. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has stepped up in Musgrave's absence and has a decent 18 catches (22 targets) for 229 yards and one touchdown in the last four weeks.
