Lands on injured reserve
The Packers placed Musgrave (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: During a media session Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Musgrave "more than likely" would require an IR stint due to the ankle injury that has plagued him the last two weeks, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Now that the move is official, the team will lean on Tucker Kraft to continue handling a majority share of the TE snaps, while Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick, who was signed off the Falcons' practice squad this week, will be on hand for any reps that linger.…read more

Likely heading to IR
Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Musgrave (ankle) "more than likely" will be placed on injured reserve, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Musgrave didn't practice at all last week due to an ankle injury, and while he was able to suit up this past Sunday at the Rams, he didn't see the field. He then managed a limited session to kick off Week 6 prep Wednesday, but the aforementioned health concern now will require some time to recover from. "He's been dealing with something and fighting through," LaFleur added. "He's gonna be down for some time." There's some "hope" that Musgrave will be able to return later this season, as LaFleur…read more

Limited in practice
Musgrave (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave was active for this past Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams, but he didn't play any snaps while he contended with the ankle injury. Assuming he experiences no setbacks coming out of another week of practice, Musgrave should get some playing time this Sunday against the Cardinals, but he still looks destined to handle a minimal role behind top tight end Tucker Kraft, who has recorded 10 receptions for 141 yards and three touchdowns over the past two contests.

No Week 5 snaps
Musgrave did not play a snap in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.
Analysis: Musgrave suited up for Sunday's contest, but he did not practice at all last week due to an ankle injury, and he did not wind up stepping on the field. Even if he is fully healthy for Week 6, Musgrave will be behind Tucker Kraft in the pecking order at tight end.

Available in Week 5
Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Musgrave focused on rehab of an ankle injury instead of practice during Week 5 prep, and it appears to have paid off for the second-year pro after testing out the issue pregame. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, though, Musgrave will be limited compared to past weeks, likely meaning he'll be hard-pressed to approach his typical snap shares of 26-56 percent on the season. Tucker Kraft will handle most of the TE reps for the Packers on Sunday, but Ben Sims and perhaps even Andrew Beck will be…read more

Will try to play Sunday
Musgrave, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams due to an ankle issue, will go through a pregame warmup with the hope of playing Week 5, but he'll be "limited at best" if he's active for the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Musgrave has been managing an ankle injury all week and wasn't able to participate in any practice sessions. Though he's aiming to play at less than full health, the tight end is shaping as a game-time call ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, and his fantasy ceiling will be limited if he does suit up. As it is, Musgrave has logged over 50 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in only one contest this season and has just five receptions for 22 yards through four games.

Questionable for Week 5
Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road contest against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: According to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, Musgrave wasn't able to practice at all this week due to an ankle issue, but the team still is giving the second-year pro a chance to suit up Sunday. Musgrave's status will be clarified, one way or another, about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's able to suit up he likely will continue to take a back seat to Green Bay's No. 1 TE Tucker Kraft. Meanwhile, Ben Sims would stand to experience an uptick in snaps, at the…read more

Idle for another practice
Musgrave (ankle) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Musgrave has now missed two straight practices with the ankle issue, so he'll likely need to take the field in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a shot at playing Sunday against the Rams. If Musgrave can't go this weekend, top tight end Tucker Kraft would likely take on an even greater share of the snaps, while Ben Sims would slide up a spot on the depth chart.

Tending to ankle issue
Musgrave didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Musgrave logged a pair of limited sessions last week due to a quadricep injury before getting back to full participation Friday, which cleared him for Week 4 action. This time around, he skipped all drills to begin the week, suggesting that the current health concern is more serious. It's unclear if Musgrave may be in danger of sitting out Sunday at the Rams, but the next two days of practice likely will be key to determining his availability.

Makes most of opportunities
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Musgrave surpassed the two receptions and nine yards he managed over the first three weeks of the season, but his output and snap count (25) still paled in comparison to fellow tight end Tucker Kraft, who was on the field for 65 plays and racked up six receptions on nine targets for 53 yards and a score. The Packers could utilize more two-tight-end formations if Christian Watson (ankle) misses time, but Musgrave remains well behind Kraft when it comes to fantasy value.

Ready for Week 4
Musgrave (quadriceps) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Analysis: Both of the Packers' top two tight ends tended to injuries this week, but Tucker Kraft was able to get back to full participation Thursday, while Musgrave did the same Friday. Considering both are clear for Week 4 action, Musgrave will continue to work behind Kraft, which so far has equated to snap shares in the range of 25-56 percent and a cumulative 2-9-0 line on four targets.

Musgrave (quadricep) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Tucker Kraft (shoulder) joined Musgrave as a limited participant for the second day in a row, but the Packers haven't indicated that either of their top two tight ends are in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Vikings. Assuming both are cleared to play this weekend, Musgrave will likely operate as the No. 2 option, though he's seen his snap share pick up in each successive game this season.

Limited by quad issue
Musgrave practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a quadricep injury.
Analysis: Fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (shoulder) was also a limited participant in the Packers' first Week 4 practice session. Though Kraft remains the top option on the depth chart, Musgrave has increased his snap share each week this season, topping out at 56 percent this past Sunday at Tennessee. However, his overall receiving line (2-9-0 on four targets) has left a lot to be desired.

Complementary role continues
Musgrave caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Analysis: Musgrave did not start alongside fellow tight end Tucker Kraft for the first time this season, and although he closed the gap in the snap-count department -- Kraft played 39 to Musgrave's 33 -- the latter once again played only a bit role in the offense. Musgrave has tallied just two receptions on four targets through three weeks, so although starting quarterback Jordan Love (knee) could return in Week 4, something else will have to change before Musgrave is back on the fantasy radar.

Remains second fiddle
Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.
Analysis: Musgrave and fellow tight end Tucker Kraft both were credited with a start for the second time in as many weeks, and Musgrave closed the gap on his counterpart in the snap department after a wide disparity Week 1. However, Musgrave was on the field for 31 of the 70 plays Green Bay ran Week 2 while Kraft was out there for 56. Kraft already has a leg up and is receiving ample praise for his blocking abilities, so expect Musgrave to remain the complementary option among the two.

Operates as No. 2 option
Musgrave was targeted twice and did not catch a pass in Friday's 34-29 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Musgrave started Friday's contest, but fellow tight end Tucker Kraft did as well, and the latter received 64 snaps to Musgrave's 17. That disparity seemingly puts Musgrave in the backup spot heading into Week 2, so those counting on him in their fantasy leagues should not be shy about considering other options.

Starts exhibition opener
Musgrave started and played seven snaps in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.
Analysis: Musgrave did not draw a target in Saturday's contest, but he also had very few opportunities to do so. Musgrave and fellow second-year player Tucker Kraft figure to handle the bulk of the tight end duties for Green Bay, but Kraft is still getting up to speed after sustaining an offseason pectoral injury, so Musgrave has the upper hand at the moment.

Musgrave was targeted four times and caught three passes for 14 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Musgrave showed his upside with a 52-yard, one-score showing in Green Bay's playoff opener at Dallas, but he did not make as much noise in the finale. The rookie second-rounder put his potential on display several times early in the season before missing six games due to a lacerated kidney. He returned in a reserve role Week 18 behind fellow rookie Tucker Kraft, but Musgrave did play ahead of Kraft prior to that.

Catches 38-yard TD in playoff win
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Musgrave capitalized on a blown coverage in the third quarter, as he had time to stop, turn back to the quarterback and wait for the ball to get to him before easily traversing the remaining distance to the end zone for a 38-yard touchdown. Musgrave and Tucker Kraft had three targets apiece, so Green Bay will likely continue to utilize both of its rookie tight ends in the divisional round against the 49ers.

Expecting larger role in playoffs
Musgrave said Thursday that he checked out fine in his return to action in the Packers' Week 18 win over the Bears and expects to take on a larger workload Sunday in the wild-card game in Dallas, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: After missing six straight games with a lacerated kidney, Musgrave was activated from injured reserve ahead of the regular-season finale, but he ended up seeing the lightest snap count of his rookie campaign as the Packers intentionally eased him back into the mix. Musgrave recorded one catch for 11 yards across his nine snaps in the win over Chicago and said he felt good after absorbing some contact, so he'll presumably increase the intensity of his practice activity this week to prepare…read more

Limited in return
Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Musgrave took the field for the first time since sustaining a lacerated kidney Week 11, but the Packers were rather cautious with him, as he was on the field for only nine of a possible 60 snaps. He could be more active in next Sunday's playoff matchup with the Cowboys, but it seems likely fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft -- who played 54 snaps Week 18 -- will continue working as Green Bay's primary tight end.

Analysis: Musgrave officially has completed his recovery from the lacerated kidney that has sidelined him since he suffered the internal injury back in Week 11 against the Chargers. Considering he had his practice reps capped the last two weeks, there's a chance he's somewhat inhibited in his return to action, especially with how fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has fared in Musgrave's stead.

The Packers activated Musgrave (kidney) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Musgrave has strung together back-to-back weeks of limited listings on Green Bay's injury reports as he put the finishing touches on his recovery from the lacerated kidney that he sustained Week 11 against the Chargers. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he may serve in a secondary role behind fellow tight end Tucker Kraft as the former eases back into the rigors of game action. Prior to the IR stint, Musgrave was putting together a nice rookie campaign (33-341-1 on 45 targets in 10 games).

Analysis: Musgrave recorded the first touchdown of his career in Week 9, and he followed that up with a couple long receptions that led to a new high-water mark in the receiving yardage department.

Musgrave (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: Musgrave has been tending to a left ankle injury since the later stages of the Packers' Week 7 loss at Denver, but he still logged a typical 74 percent snap share this past Sunday against the Vikings en route to two catches (on three targets) for nine yards.

Dating back to last week, he's now logged two straight limited practice sessions, and if he gets back to full participation Thursday and/or Friday, he could factor more into the passing game Sunday versus the Rams.

Limited to nine yards
Musgrave was targeted three times and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Musgrave shook off an ankle injury and played roughly three-fourths of the snaps in Sunday's contest -- his highest percentage since Week 3. However, he finished with a single digit in the yardage column for the second time in four appearances. Musgrave will have a chance to get going in Week 9 when the Packers take on a Rams team that has ceded 39 targets and four scores to tight ends over its last five games.

Suiting up Sunday
Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.
Analysis: Musgrave departed the Packers' Week 7 loss at Denver in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury and afterward was spotted with a walking boot on his left foot. He was unable to practice until Friday, when he was a limited participant, and a questionable listing for Week 8 ensued. Coach Matt LaFleur was impressed with Musgrave's recovery as of Friday, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site, and the rookie second-round pick now is well enough to make himself available Sunday. There's a…read more

Listed as questionable
Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, with head coach Matt LaFleur suggesting Friday that he's been impressed by the tight end's progress, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. "He's one tough sucker now," LaFleur said. "I don't think too many guys would've been able to come back that quickly from what happened to him."
Analysis: Fantasy managers should view the tight end as a game-time decision ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, considering LaFleur's optimism didn't extend to making any predictions about the tight end's availability this Sunday. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft played every snap on offense last week after Musgrave's departure early in the fourth quarter of a 19-17 loss to the Broncos, but that won't necessarily be the plan if the Packers are forced to play without their starting tight end again.…read more

Still not practicing
Musgrave (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Musgrave injured his left ankle in the later moments of this past Sunday's loss at Denver and was spotted in a walking boot after the game. While he has yet to mix into drills this week, he ditched the boot as of Thursday and also worked with trainers on the side, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Friday's practice likely will be key to determining whether or not Musgrave has a chance to suit up Sunday against the Vikings.

Not practicing Wednesday
Musgrave (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave left Sunday's loss to Denver early in the fourth quarter and was spotted with a walking boot on his left foot after the game. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft played every snap on offense after Musgrave's departure, but it could be more of a committee effort at tight end this Sunday against the Vikings if Musgrave ends up inactive.

Seen in walking boot
Musgrave was spotted donning a walking boot on his left foot following Sunday's 19-17 loss at Denver, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Not long after taking a massive helmet-to-helmet hit from Broncos safety Justin Simmons early in the fourth quarter, Musgrave was deemed questionable to return due to an ankle injury. Musgrave was unable to reenter the game, finishing Week 7 with four catches (on five targets) for 30 yards. His status bears watching closely to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday, Oct. 29 against the Vikings.

Questionable to return
Musgrave is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Broncos due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Musgrave took a helmet-to-helmet hit before exiting the game, but it looks like the main concern is due to his ankle. The rookie tight end had four receptions on five targets for 30 yards before exiting.

Six catches in Week 5 loss
Musgrave secured six of seven targets for 34 yards in the Packers' 17-13 loss to the Raiders on Monday night.
Analysis: Musgrave finished with a team-high number of receptions and a distant second in receiving yards to Christian Watson. The rookie tight end's catch total also matched the career high he'd established Week 3, and he appears likely to continue serving as a security blanket for a quarterback in Jordan Love who's frequently struggled to complete more than half his pass attempts. Musgrave returns to action in a favorable road matchup against the Broncos in Week 7 following a Week 6 bye.

Ready to play Monday
Musgrave (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's matchup versus the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: Musgrave was a full participant in all three practice sessions, paving the way for the rookie tight to return to the starting lineup. Prior to the early exit in the Week 4 loss to the Lions, Musgrave had played in at least 75 percent of the team's offensive snaps and tallied 15 targets combined in the three contests. As a result, the 23-year-old could be situated in a nice spot to have a productive outing against a vulnerable Raiders defense.

Another full practice
Musgrave (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back full practices have Musgrave on track to avoid any missed games after an early exit from last Thursday's loss to Detroit, though there still hasn't been any announcement from the Packers about the rookie clearing the concussion protocol. Fantasy managers thus should continue to consider the possibility of Musgrave missing Monday's game in Las Vegas, even if suiting up is the more likely outcome at this stage. The timing of the game is suboptimal if he ends up listed as…read more

Gets in full practice Thursday
Musgrave (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave made an early exit last Thursday against the Lions to be evaluated for a concussion and eventually was ruled out for the rest of that contest. The Packers held an unofficial practice Tuesday, when the rookie tight end was spotted taking part in drills. By logging a full session to begin Week 5 prep, Musgrave appears on the precipice of emerging from the protocol for head injuries, as Demovsky suggested earlier Thursday. Still, neither the team nor coach Matt LaFleur has confirmed as…read more

Back practicing Tuesday
Musgrave (concussion) was spotted practicing Tuesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers won't release their first official Week 5 injury report until Wednesday, but the team is holding an unofficial practice session Tuesday after having last played Thursday night in Week 4. In that 34-20 loss to the Lions, Musgrave exited early and was eventually ruled out due to a concussion. Though the extent of his activity Tuesday isn't clear, the rookie tight end's ability to take the field in any capacity is a sign that he's made some progress through the five-step concussion…read more

Ruled out against Lions
Musgrave (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave originally exited the game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a head injury and did not record a catch prior to his exit. Positively, he'll have plenty of time to clear the league's concussion protocol, as the Packers don't play again until Oct. 9. Tucker Kraft and Josiah Deguara have each seen an uptick in playing time with Musgrave sidelined.

Being evaluated for concussion
Musgrave left Thursday's game against the Lions to be evaluated for a concussion, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Musgrave exited in the second quarter and was initially evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room. He failed to make a catch prior to his exit. Josiah Deguara should see an uptick in playing time so long as Musgrave is absent.

Leads team in catches
Musgrave caught six of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Musgrave was Green Bay's lone source of offense for about three quarters, which ultimately saw him lead the team in receptions. Although his output could have been better had quarterback Jordan Love not missed him on a wide-open seam route during the first half, Musgrave has quickly offered the Packers a quality option at tight end while securing 11 of 15 targets thus far.

Limited to two receptions
Musgrave was targeted three times and caught two passes for 25 yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Musgrave was held in check, finishing with one fewer reception and half as many yards as he racked up in his Week 1 NFL debut. On the bright side, he was tied for third on the team in targets, and his snap percentage jumped from 75 percent to 88 percent. Without much depth behind him at tight end, expect Musgrave to remain busy.

Long gain in win
Musgrave caught three of four targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Musgrave finished second on the Packers in receiving yards, with his NFL debut highlighted by a 37-yard gain to begin the fourth quarter. On that play, though, Musgrave was all alone and missed out on an easy touchdown while stumbling to make a relatively routine catch. With a missed connection on another open deep shot earlier, Musgrave's starting tight-end role could lend itself to decent value over the course of his rookie season.

Comes up big on TD drive
Musgrave caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason win over Seattle.
Analysis: Both catches came from Jordan Love and went for first downs to help the Packers score a TD on their third series of the game against Seattle's second-string defense. Most of the Green Bay starters were removed thereafter, and it appears Musgrave will be the team's top pass catcher at the position heading into a Week 1 contest at Chicago. While unlikely to take on an every-down role right out of the gate, Musgrave has the size and speed to eventually handle large workloads that include both…read more

Two receptions Saturday
Musgrave caught two of his three targets for 13 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to New England.
Analysis: Musgrave didn't finish with a stat line to write home about, but his three targets did lead all active starters Saturday. The athletic tight end has appeared in both of Green Bay's preseason contests, as he appears to be over the knee injury that limited him to two games in his final year with Oregon State. Musgrave is expected to start and see the lion's share of TE targets with little competition behind him on the depth chart.

Flashes in preseason debut
Musgrave was targeted three times and caught one passes for eight yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: Musgrave did not have a big night in the box score, but he could have had quarterback Jordan Love connected with him on a couple plays that had big yardage written all over them. Regardless of the results, the rookie second-rounder worked as Green Bay's starting tight end and was a factor in the passing game when Love was on the field. Musgrave is well past the knee injury that cut short his final collegiate season and is a player to consider in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

Working with first-team offense
Musgrave has been getting reps with the first-team offense at OTAs this week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: After letting Robert Tonyan walk in free agency, the Packers didn't sign any veteran tight ends but used second- and third-round picks on Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, respectively. Playing time at tight end thus appears to be up for grabs, with fourth-year player Josiah Deguara also in the mix for reps. As for Musgrave, head coach Matt LaFleur has praised the rookie for the speed and size (6-foot-6, 253 pounds) he brings to the table, and he likely profiles as the top receiving threat among the…read more
