Fails to corral target in Week 16
Deguara was unable to haul in his lone target while playing eight of the Cardinals' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-19 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Quarterback Jacoby Brissett targeted tight ends on 17 of his 31 pass attempts Sunday, but Trey McBride (4-27-0 receiving line on eight targets) and Elijah Higgins (7-91-0 on eight targets) did the heavy lifting for the position group. Deguara, meanwhile, will continue to function mainly as a blocker and special-teams contributor for Arizona. Through 10 appearances, Deguara has drawn just three targets, turning them into one catch for six yards.

Back with Cards
Arizona signed Deguara on Wednesday.
Analysis: Deguara was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but with the passing of the trade deadline, he'll rejoin the 53-man roster just one day later. He'll serve as a depth tight end and should have a role on special teams for the Cardinals in this Sunday's game in Seattle.

Signed to Cardinals' active roster
The Cardinals signed Deguara from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.
Analysis: Deguara's addition to the active roster gives the Cardinals depth at tight end after Travis Vokolek (neck) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. With Vokolek and Tip Reiman (ankle) both on IR, Deguara is slated to serve as Arizona's third-string tight end behind Trey McBride and Elijah Higgins. Deguara played in the Cardinals' Week 2 win against the Panthers, when he logged one tackle while playing 14 snaps on special teams.

Analysis: Deguara signed with Arizona's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's now set to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Hits the open market
Deguara was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Deguara will hit the open market after he compiled four catches for 48 yards over Arizona's three preseason contests. The tight end played in 15 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he may have to settle for a practice squad spot with a new team ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Joins Arizona
Deguara signed with the Cardinals on Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: A 2020 third-round pick of the Packers who spent 2024 with the Jaguars, Deguara has 50 career catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 14 yards a year ago. He has played on over 800 special-teams snaps over the course of his career, and he could earn a role that way on the Cardinals. Arizona's tight end room is led by Trey McBride, who caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards in 2024, and then Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins.

Three receptions in 2024
Deguara (shoulder) registered three catches on as many targets for 14 yards across 15 regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Deguara signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract with the Jaguars in March 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. He failed to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but after opting to stay on the practice squad he eventually was signed to Jacksonville's active roster in late September.

Dealing with shoulder issue
Deguara (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick from Cincinnati played 13 total snaps (three offensive and 10 on special teams) without recording any stats in Jacksonville's Week 14 win over the Titans, seemingly sustaining a shoulder injury in the process. If Deguara is sidelined for the Jags' Week 15 matchup against the Jets, it likely wouldn't affect their offensive gameplan, as he's caught just two passes in 11 games this season.

Seeing minimal playing time
Deguara was on the field for three of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Deguara has suited up in each of Jacksonville's last five games and has been limited to two receptions for 10 yards on two targets. He's played no more than 10 snaps on offense in either of those contests, but his involvement on the Jaguars' special-teams units could be enough for Jacksonville to keep him active on game days moving forward.

Inking with Jacksonville
The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Analysis: Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

Deguara was targeted eight times and had eight receptions for 65 yards over 15 games in the 2023 regular season.

Deguara caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The fourth-year tight end played over 60 percent of the snaps in Week 4 after Luke Musgrave exited the contest due to a concussion, but Deguara was back into a part-time role Monday. Expect him to remain in that spot when the Packers return to action in Week 7 after their bye.

Efficient on four targets in loss
Deguara secured all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Analysis: Deguara finished second in receptions for the Packers on the night and tied for third in targets. The fourth-year tight end's season-best line was largely the byproduct of position mate Luke Musgrave leaving the game for good in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. Despite Thursday's modest spike in production, Deguara figures to return to a complementary role behind Musgrave if the latter is cleared to return against the Raiders for a Week 5 matchup on Monday night, Oct. 9.

Sees action Saturday
Deguara (calf) saw action in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Deguara did not make a mark in the box score, but he appeared in a second straight game after missing the exhibition opener with a calf issue. Deguara, listed as a fullback on Green Bay's official depth chart, is not a lock to open the regular season on the roster. However, he worked as a tight end in the past, and that experience could pay off with only three tight ends healthy for the Packers.

Deguara (calf) returned to practice Wednesday but isn't participating in team drills, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Deguara is likely considered limited at Wednesday's practice after missing roughly a week of camp due to a calf injury. His status for Friday's preseason opener against the Bengals still appears uncertain, but it's nonetheless positive to see Deguara back on the field in some capacity. Following the offseason departure of Robert Tonyan, Deguara is primarily competing with rookies Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (knee) for snaps at tight end.

Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick was already in a tough spot this summer, with the Packers using second- and third-round picks on tight ends in April after getting only 13 receptions out of Deguara last year. Robert Tonyan, now with the Bears, was easily Green Bay's top receiving option at tight end in 2022, pulling in 53 of 67 targets (79.1 percent) but for only 470 yards and two touchdowns.

Deguara was targeted 15 times and caught 13 passes for 114 yards over 17 games in the 2022 campaign.
Analysis: Deguara appeared in every game for the first time in his three-year career, but he finished with roughly half the number of receptions and yards as he did in 2021, and he also failed to find the end zone after doing so twice in the previous season. He will almost certainly be back with Green Bay for a fourth go-around, but chances are he will remain in a complementary role.

Analysis: After sitting out Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, Deguara returned to a limited session Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 18 action. Now that his status is confirmed, he'll continue to play a key role as a blocking tight end for the Packers offense, which doesn't hold much sway in fantasy considering he has a 13-114-0 line on 15 targets in 16 games this season.

Analysis: Deguara played a season-high 28 snaps (44 percent share) in the Week 8 loss, surpassing Marcedes Lewis as the Packers' No. 2 tight end for the first time all season. It's unclear if that trend will continue moving forward or if it was more of a result of the Bills having the game in hand by the fourth quarter, but either way, Deguara and Lewis will both be firmly behind starter Robert Tonyan in the pecking order for snaps at tight end.

Deguara was targeted twice and caught two passes for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Deguara had a chance to open the season in a more prominent role with fellow tight end Robert Tonyan recovering from a knee injury, but with Tonyan not only taking the field but starting Week 1, expect Deguara to continue working as a reserve.

Analysis: Deguara did not do much during the preseason, finishing with totals of six targets, three receptions and 23 yards.

Fills several roles in scrimmage
Deguara led Packers tight ends in first-team reps during Green Bay's Family Night event Friday, according to Justis Mosqueda of acmepackingcompany.com.
Analysis: Deguara lined up as a tight end on only five plays Friday night, but be it in the backfield or in the slot, he was on the field for 10 others. When it was all said and done, only two Packers skill players -- and no one listed as a tight end -- racked up more snaps. Deguara started getting more involved later in his second season, and unless fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) makes rapid progress in the weeks ahead, Deguara seems poised to be the Packers' top option at his position Week 1.

Finishes season as starter
Deguara was targeted 33 times and caught 25 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns over 16 appearances in the 2021 season.
Analysis: Deguara played a bit role early in the season, but he moved up the depth chart when fellow tight end Robert Tonyan suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 8 and finished the campaign as the Packers' top tight end. He did not do a whole lot outside of two long scores, but he was taken in the third round just two years ago, so he's going to get more opportunities in 2022. Just how many remains to be seen, as Tonyan will be a free agent this offseason.

Analysis: Deguara did nearly all his damage on a 62-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he tied his career high for catches in a game and set a new career best in the receiving yards department.

Does little in third straight
Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Deguara would have had a much better night had he hauled in an Aaron Rodgers pass into the end zone on the Packers' first drive, but alas, he failed to hit even the 20-yard mark for the third straight game. Deguara remains the most appealing fantasy option among Green Bay's tight ends, but with him producing minimally and the Packers having already sewn up the top seed in the NFC, there are likely better options to go with Week 18.

Analysis: Deguara played at least 55 percent of the snaps for a third week in a row, and for the first time in his career was the only Packers tight end to spend more than half the offensive plays on the field. While those numbers seemingly point to him being the team's top option at the position, they have not translated into any meaningful production, as he has recorded just eight receptions for 65 yards in three games since the Week 13 bye.

Little impact in win
Deguara was targeted five times and caught three passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-30 victory over the Ravens.
Analysis: While the five targets were a career high for Deguara, he was unable to do much with them, and he finished with no more than 16 yards for the fourth time in the six games the Packers have played since losing starting tight end Robert Tonyan (knee). Deguara did play more than 50 percent of the snaps for the second week in a row, and he will have the matchup in his favor in Week 16 against the Browns. However, his game log suggests he will be tough to trust in that contest.

Deguara was targeted three times and caught three passes for 44 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: The 44 yards were a career best for Deguara, as were the 37 snaps he played in Sunday's contest. He has not stamped himself as the Packers' top tight end, as teammate Marcedes Lewis racked up more yards and receptions Week 14 and played just one fewer snap. However, Deguara at least has done enough to put himself on the radar for Weeks 15 and 16, when the Packers will take on Ravens and Browns defenses that have been below average this season against opposing tight ends.

Analysis: Deguara only got a couple opportunities to make a play Sunday, but he capitalized on the biggest one, hauling in a 25-yard pass into the end zone to bring the Packers within six points late in the second quarter. He has just 10 receptions this season, but the 2020 third-rounder looks like a player on the rise, as he has both caught two passes and seen his snap-count percentage increase in four straight games. His 27 snaps Sunday led Packers tight ends and were 10 more than Marcedes Lewis, the…read more

Plays season-high 25 snaps
Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Deguara didn't provide much help for anyone that threw a dart at him in fantasy contests, but he did play a season-high 25 snaps in Sunday's contest. His role has expanded some since Robert Tonyan (knee) was lost for the season, and he now has two receptions in three straight games after catching just two passes all season prior to that. It could be tough for him to do much more than that Week 11, as he'll remain behind Marcedes Lewis on the depth chart and face a Vikings defense that has…read more

Hauls in two passes
Deguara was targeted twice and caught two passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Deguara matched the career-high two receptions he recorded Week 8, but he didn't do much for fantasy players who were hoping he would step up in the absence of fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee). Deguara will have more opportunities to contribute with Tonyan done for the season, but he played the third-most snaps among Packers tight ends Week 9, so his role wasn't markedly different than it was in previous weeks. Of course, his prospects could improve some once starting quarterback Aaron…read more

Career-high two catches Thursday
Deguara hauled in both targets for 20 yards in Thursday's 24-21 win at Arizona.
Analysis: Deguara doubled his catch count on the campaign in the process, and he's likely to earn more work moving forward after Robert Tonyan suffered a torn ACL in the contest. Per Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site, coach Mike LaFleur expects to take a "by-committee" approach at tight end moving forward, and because of the team's TE-heavy scheme Deguara may begin to realize the investment made in him as a third-round pick in the 2020 draft. Aside from Deguara, Green Bay trots out Marcedes…read more

Second reception this season
Deguara was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Deguara has caught only two passes all season, but that's one more than he caught last year during his rookie campaign, when a torn ACL limited him to just two appearances. Deguara has played at least 20 percent of the snaps in four straight games, but he is operating as the Packers' third tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

Returns from bout with concussion
Deguara (concussion) is active for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Deguara completed the concussion protocol late in the week, while the Packers placed fellow tight end Dominique Dafney (hip) on injured reserve Saturday. With Dafney out for at least three contests, Deguara will join Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis as the team's top three TEs for the foreseeable future. In three career appearances, Deguara has earned just 36 offensive snaps en route to one catch (on two targets) for 12 yards.

No injury designation
Deguara (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Week 3.
Analysis: Deguara didn't play in Week 2 and was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, but his status took a turn for the better Friday. The 24-year-old shouldn't be on fantasy radars as he has played only five offensive snaps this season, but he may see increased reps in Week 3 if Dominique Dafney (hip) is sidelined.

Remains limited at practice
Deguara (concussion) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Deguara remained limited as he recovers from the concussion that he sustained Week 1. It's unclear exactly where he stands in his quest through the protocol for head injuries, but he seems destined to enter the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco. Meanwhile, Dominique Dafney (hip) joined Deguara as a limited participant Thursday, leaving just two healthy tight ends (Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis) on the active roster.

Limited at Wednesday's practice
Deguara (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Deguara missed Monday's win over the Lions after suffering a concussion in the season opener, but his return to practice Wednesday indicates he's progressing in his recovery. The 24-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol to have a chance of suiting up this weekend at San Francisco.

Unavailable Monday
Deguara (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Deguara was considered doubtful for Monday's contest after sitting out practice all week, so it's not a surprise to see him on the inactive list. Dominique Dafney will serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

Listed as doubtful
Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Deguara hasn't practiced all week so it would be very surprising to see the 2020 third-round pick available Monday. Any missed time will likely see Dominique Dafney get a larger role along with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Misses Friday's practice
Deguara (concussion) missed practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Deguara was forced to leave the Packers' season opener early with a concussion. The tight end missed practice Thursday and just missed practice Friday, so his status for Monday's game is uncertain as of now. Expect Dominique Dafney to have a larger role against the Lions if Deguara can't play.

Doesn't practice Thursday
Deguara (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Deguara sustained a concussion in Sunday's season opener against the Saints and was unable to participate in the team's first practice of the week. His status for Monday's game against the Lions will likely come into focus based on whether he's able to return to practice this weekend.

Won't return Sunday
Deguara suffered a concussion and has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: It was a scary scene in Jacksonville as Deguara was down for several minutes while trainers looked at him, but he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power. If the 24-year-old can't return for Week 2 against Detroit, Dominique Dafney may get some extra snaps as Green Bay's no. 3 tight end.

Participating in team drills
Deguara (knee) participated in team drills during Thursday's practice, Marques Eversoll of The Fan 107.5 reports.
Analysis: Deguara also participated in team drills during joint practices with the Jets last week, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press Gazette, but the second-year tight end didn't suit up for last weekend's preseason game against New York. However, Deguara's continued participation in team drills this week suggests he didn't suffer any sort of setback, so it seems possible he could take the field for the Packers' preseason finale Saturday against the Bills.

Comes off PUP list
The Packers activated Deguara (knee) from the PUP list Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Demovsky noted Deguara has been medically cleared from the torn ACL he suffered Oct. 5 against the Falcons, he likely will be eased into practices. Robert Tonyan is the clear-cut top receiving tight end in Green Bay, and Marcedes Lewis handles key blocking duties. As a result, Deguara, a 2020 third-round pick, may be fighting for not much more than a peripheral role in the Packers offense.

Placed on PUP list
Deguara was placed on the Active/PUP-List Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: No surprise here, as Deguara is returning from an ACL injury that ended his rookie campaign after just two weeks. Prior to the injury, he saw a substantial amount of first-team reps. In his absence, Robert Tonyan proceeded to enjoy a breakout season and will enter 2021as the team's No. 1 tight end. However, Deguara does not project as a traditional tight end, as he is expected to display his versatitlity in the backfield, on the line and even in the slot. Still, it remains to be seen how close…read more

Could be ready for camp
Deguara (knee) may have progressed far enough in his recovery from a torn ACL to participate in the beginning of training camp, Jason Wilde of the Lacrosse Tribune reports.
Analysis: Deguara handled a substantial amount of first-team reps as a rookie last offseason, but a torn ACL ended his inaugural NFL campaign after just two games. On the bright side, the timing of Deguara's injury should allow him to fully recover by Week 1. Deguara and teammate David Bakhtiari (knee), who is also working his way back from a torn ACL, did rehab work together during OTAs earlier this offseason.

Officially placed on IR
The Packers placed Deguara (torn ACL) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Deguara tore his ACL in Week 4 against the Falcons, and he'll predictably be shut down for the season. The rookie third-rounder caught one pass for 12 yards this year. The Packers have Robert Tonyan, Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis (knee) available to handle reps at tight end moving forward, and Deguara should have enough time to make a full recovery for the 2021 season.

Done for season
Deguara suffered a torn ACL in Monday's win over the Falcons and has been ruled out for the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It was Deguara's second career NFL game after being selected in the third round of April's draft, and the rookie hasn't had much of a chance to impact the team's offense. He'll focus on rehabbing to return in 2021 at 100 percent. For the time being, Robert Tonyan will continue to lead the team's tight ends while Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis (knee) rotate in.

Deguara (shin) is active for the Packers' Week 4 matchup against the Falcons.
Analysis: Deguara got in two limited practices to close the week, enough for him to be ready to go for Monday's action. With Marcedes Lewis (knee) sidelined, Deguara may see an increased role. However, Regulars will still work behind both Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

Deguara (shin) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.
Analysis: Deguara logged two straight limited practice sessions to finish off the practice week, so he may gear up for the first time since Week 1. Meanwhile, Marcedes Lewis (knee) is considered doubtful, so Deguara could operate as the No. 3 tight end Monday.

Analysis: Deguara sat out Thursday's practice but was able to get some work in Friday. His practice capacity Saturday will help reveal the tight end's status for Monday's matchup against the Falcons. Even if he suits up, however, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger figure to handle most of the reps as they did in Week 3.

DNP to kick off practice week
Deguara (shin) did not participate during the Packers' practice session Thursday.
Analysis: The rookie third-round draft choice has missed each of Green Bay's last two outings after collecting one catch for 12 yards during a Week 1 win against the Vikings. It appeared the rookie was in line for a moderate role prior to the injury, as he saw the field for 31 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps against Minnesota.

Deguara (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday in New Orleans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: After opening his career with one catch on a 31-percent offensive snap share Week 1, Deguara will miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the Packers may use more two-TE sets than normal, setting up Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis and Jace Sternberger for increased usage.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Deguara (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans.
Analysis: Sidelined Week 2 due to shin and ankle injuries, Deguara made an attempt to practice this week, putting in a limited showing Wednesday. However, he was unable to participate at all Thursday and Friday and seems poised for a second consecutive absence. Look for Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis to split most of the TE reps in Deguara's stead, with Jace Sternberger acting as the third option at the position.

Analysis: Deguara missed the Packers' last two practice sessions of the week with his leg injuries, and he will not play Sunday for the same reason.

Analysis: Deguara began the week as a limited participant, but he's now missed back-to-back sessions and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 2. The rookie tight end was involved on offense during his NFL debut, as he drew two targets. If he misses time, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger could see slightly more opportunities.

Limited by shin injury
Deguara was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In his NFL debut Week 1 at Minnesota, Deguara ranked third among Packers tight ends in offensive snaps behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis, and ahead of Jace Sternberger. In the process, Deguara hauled in one of two targets for 12 yards. This injury could inhibit him some throughout the week, and Friday's injury report will provide a sense of his ability to play Sunday against the Lions.

Deguara caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 43-34 victory over the Vikings.

Buried on initial depth chart
Deguara is listed third, along with Jace Sternberger, on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.
Analysis: Deguara looks set to begin his career behind both Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan, while mixing in alongside second-year pro Sternberger for work. The rookie third-round pick's versatility and impressive athleticism should make him a candidate to earn a larger role as his development progresses, but he's an unlikely option for fantasy success to kick off the 2020 season.
