Season-high volume in Week 9
Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: While his numbers were modest, Musgrave set new season highs in catches, targets and yardage. All three looks from Jordan Love came in the fourth quarter after Tucker Kraft (knee) left the game and didn't return, an injury the Packers are worried could be season-ending, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. If Tucker is indeed set to miss time, Musgrave will be set for a much bigger role beginning in Week 10 against the Eagles despite his meager 9-88-0 line on 10 targets through eight games.

Finishes without target
Musgrave was not targeted in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Musgrave played over 20 snaps for the fourth time in five games, but he did not draw a pass in his direction and has been targeted only five times during that stretch. Musgrave conceivably remains a threat to opposing defenses due to his size and speed, but with Tucker Kraft healthy, he isn't getting many chances to display those traits.

One grab in win
Musgrave caught one of his two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 27-18 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Musgrave had a quiet day Sunday as he continued to fill his role as Green Bay's No. 2 tight end behind starter Tucker Kraft. The 25-year-old Musgrave played just 21 of Green Bay's 61 offensive snaps in the contest, while Kraft played 56 snaps. Barring an injury to Kraft, Musgrave is not worthy of consideration for fantasy lineups. With that said, next up for the Packers is a road game against the Cardinals in Week 7.

Limited to one reception
Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.
Analysis: It was more of the same for Musgrave, who heads into Green Bay's Week 5 bye with totals of four receptions for 42 yards. Tucker Kraft remains the man at the tight end position for the Packers.

Held without target
Musgrave was not targeted in Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: The third-year tight end was a trendy waiver-wire pick-up late in the week after Tucker Kraft injured his knee Thursday, but the Packers' starter wound up filling his usual role in Week 3 while Musgrave failed to make a mark. Musgrave is not even locked in as the No. 2 tight end -- John FitzPatrick scored his first career TD on Sunday and has played roughly the same number of snaps through three weeks.

Two catches Thursday
Musgrave caught both of his targets for 32 yards in Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Musgrave played second fiddle among Green Bay's tight ends to Tucker Kraft, who paced the team's pass catchers with six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Kraft has emerged as the superior fantasy option between the pair of Day 2 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, so Musgrave will be hard-pressed to carve out much value as long as Kraft's available.

Catches pass in opener
Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Musgrave started Sunday's game along with fellow tight end Tucker Kraft, but the 17 snaps he was credited with were far closer to the 15 third-string tight end John FitzPatrick played than the 44 Kraft finished with. Musgrave has traits that made him a second-round pick in 2023, but expect him to continue playing second fiddle while Kraft operates as Green Bay's top tight end.

Logs lone reception
Musgrave was targeted twice and caught one pass for one yard in Saturday's 30-10 exhibition loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Musgrave and top tight end Tucker Kraft both started Saturday's preseason opener, but the former played only nine snaps and the latter 10 before calling it a night. Kraft will be Green Bay's top tight end following a stellar sophomore season, but Musgrave -- who also is entering his third season -- is the favorite to occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.

Limited in second season
Musgrave was targeted 10 times and caught seven passes for 45 yards across seven games in the 2024 season.
Analysis: Musgrave was a trendy sleeper heading into his sophomore campaign after showing some flashes as a rookie, but he was quietly surpassed by fellow tight end Tucker Kraft over the offseason, and he got off to a slow start before missing 10 games from Week 5 onward. Musgrave returned in Week 16, but by that point Kraft had solidified his grasp as Green Bay's top tight end, and Musgrave filled a bit role the rest of the way. A 2023 second-round pick, Musgrave still possesses some upside heading into…read more

Snap count increases
Musgrave caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Musgrave made only a minor impact, but he did get 16 offensive snaps after playing 12 the week before and eight in his Week 16 return from an extended absence. Musgrave remains the second option at tight end behind Tucker Kraft, but he could be more involved in the postseason with Green Bay needing to account for the loss of wideout Christian Watson (knee).

Targeted once in loss
Musgrave caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Musgrave's reception Sunday was his first catch since Week 4 after he missed the majority of the season with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old tight end has been eased back into the mix, playing just 12 of the Packers' 63 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Tucker Kraft played 54 snaps in the contest. Musgrave will likely continue to play a smaller role going forward, especially with Kraft proving to be an effective option in the passing game. The Packers visit the Bears in Week 18.

Clear for Sunday's contest
Musgrave (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of logging eight offensive snaps Monday versus the Saints in his first game action since Week 4, Musgrave was listed as limited on all three Week 17 practice reports due to his prior ankle issue. With his status clarified ahead of Sunday's contest, he's a candidate to ramp up his workload a bit behind No. 1 TE Tucker Kraft (hip), who also doesn't carry a designation into the weekend. Musgrave will be vying for reserve reps with John FitzPatrick and Ben Sims.

Musgrave (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Green Bay has placed practice restrictions on both Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (hip) this week, but it doesn't appear as if either player's status is in peril for Sunday's game at Minnesota. Friday's injury report may provide clarity on the overall situation at tight end for the Packers in Week 17.

Limited listing to begin week
Musgrave (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Both Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (hip) were listed as limited on the Packers' first Week 17 injury report, but at least Musgrave's health concern is an existing one, while Kraft's is a new one. In his first game action since Week 4 in Monday's 34-0 win over the Saints, Musgrave was targeted once among his eight offensive snaps.

Back in action Monday
Musgrave (ankle) is listed as active Monday against the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Musgrave will be available for the first time since Week 4 after completing his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October. Tucker Kraft has taken over as Green Bay's No. 1 TE, but Musgrave should be in the mix for snaps and targets at the position along with Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick. In four games before the injury, Musgrave hauled in five of seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns.

Officially comes off IR
The Packers activated Musgrave (ankle) off injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Musgrave had been on IR since Oct. 11 due to an ankle injury. He was designated to return Dec. 11 but didn't play last Sunday against Seattle. However, Musgrave logged a trio of limited practices this week and now appears set to return to action Monday. Tucker Kraft likely will continue working as Green Bay's top tight end, though once Musgrave has ramped up enough, he could eat into Kraft's opportunities.

Expected to suit up vs. Saints
Musgrave (ankle) is in line to be activated from IR and suit up for Monday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Musgrave is officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football and currently remains on IR, but Green Bay is expected to activate him prior to the 4:00 p.m. ET deadline. The second-year tight end figures to be worked back into action in his return to the field from ankle surgery undergone due to an injury sustained Week 4, especially with Tucker Kraft still available atop the depth chart.

Questionable, still on IR
Musgrave (ankle), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Saints, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: For a second week in a row, Musgrave operated with a cap on his practice reps, but this time around he actually has a chance to play for the first time since Week 4. He'll need to be activated by 4:00 p.m. ET on Monday to get back on the active roster, and the Packers then will be required to post a list of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which he'll need to avoid to be available again to Green Bay's offense.

Analysis: Musgrave has been listed as limited on Packers' injury reports since the team designated him for return from injured reserve last Wednesday.

Won't return in Week 15
Musgrave (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Seattle, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Green Bay designated Musgrave for return from injured reserve Wednesday, after which the second-year tight end cobbled together three limited practices. Considering he wasn't able to get back to full participation by week's end, it's no surprise he won't be available Week 15. Tucker Kraft will continue to serve as the Packers' top tight end Sunday, with Ben Sims and John FitzPatrick mixing in behind him. Musgrave's next chance to play will arrive Monday, Dec. 23 against the Saints.

Musgrave (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers designated Musgrave for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he's followed up the transaction with a pair of capped sessions to begin Week 15 prep. He's seeking his first game action since Week 4 as he closes in on completion of his recovery from ankle surgery that was performed in early October. Whenever Musgrave is back in action, he'll slot in behind Green Bay's top TE Tucker Kraft.

Musgrave (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With his return to on-field work, Musgrave's 21-day window in which to be evaluated and potentially activated from injured reserve has opened up. It's unclear if he has any chance to suit up Sunday at Seattle, but the Packers could make a ruling on his upcoming availability Friday (via their final Week 15 injury report) or Saturday (the deadline for him to be activated from IR this week). If he's cleared to play Sunday, Musgrave still would be the second option at tight end behind Tucker Kraft.

Musgrave (ankle) was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Musgrave had ankle surgery and was placed on injured reserve Oct. 11 as a result, but his return to the practice field Wednesday opens up a 21-day window for Green Bay to get him back in the active roster. Even before suffering the injury, Musgrave surpassed a 50 percent snap share just one time over the first four games of the season and compiled a 5-22-0 receiving line on seven targets during that span.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Comes off IR, still questionable
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).

Questionable, yet to be activated
Musgrave (kidney) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 21, but he will need to be officially activated prior to Sunday's game in order to play. He was able to practice on a limited basis for a second consecutive week in hopes of returning to game action for the first time since Week 11. Fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has been filling in atop the depth chart in Musgrave's absence.

Remains limited Thursday
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Musgrave (kidney) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Since being designated for return from injured reserve Dec. 21, Musgrave hasn't managed anything more than limited participation in practice while he works his way back from a lacerated kidney. According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, LaFleur said that a return to the lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears is still "realistic" for Musgrave, but the rookie tight end may need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to convince the coaching staff he's ready for…read more

Musgrave (kidney) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Musgrave is maintaining his practice activity level from last week, when he was listed as doubtful for Week 17 action and eventually wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of this past Sunday's game at Minnesota. Head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last Thursday that Musgrave must be medically cleared from his lacerated kidney and also look like himself in order to suit up on game days, which clearly hasn't come to pass yet.

Doubtful for Sunday
Musgrave (abdomen) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at Minnesota, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Considering Musgrave remains on injured reserve, the Packers will have to decide whether he has a chance to return by Saturday afternoon, with a 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to activate him looming. If that comes to pass, he may still be listed as doubtful, giving him little chance to be active once the team posts its inactives about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Musgrave is held out another week, Tucker Kraft will continue to operate as Green Bay's primary receiving tight…read more

Musgrave (kidney) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Musgrave now has a limited walkthrough and a capped practice under his belt this week as he continues his recovery from the lacerated kidney that he suffered Week 11 versus the Chargers. Coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday that Musgrave is pining to play Sunday against the Vikings, but the rookie right end will need to receive medical clearance along with looking like himself in order to do so.

Officially listed as limited
Musgrave (kidney) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: The Packers merely held a walkthrough, but Musgrave's listed activity level was reflected in his ability to take part in individual drills Wednesday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Musgrave thus logged his first on-field work since lacerating his kidney Week 11 against the Chargers. Whether or not he's able to play during the final two weeks of the regular season has yet to be determined.

Musgrave (kidney) participated in individual drills at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Musgrave was designated for return from injured reserve last Thursday, but he went down as a non-participant on the Packers' last two Week 16 injury reports before sitting out Sunday's 33-30 win over Carolina. As the team opens Week 17 prep, he appears poised to be listed as a limited participant Wednesday as he seeks to come back from the lacerated kidney that he sustained during a Week 11 win over the Chargers.

Won't return this week
Musgrave (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Carolina but still hopes to play again this season, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Musgrave said he doesn't mind playing through pain but has to be cautious when dealing with an internal injury, particularly one that was graded at "level four out of five," Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has filled in capably in terms of receiving production, averaging 3.3 catches for 43.3 yards and 0.5 TDs over the past four games while playing at least 95 percent of snaps on offense in each contest.

Musgrave (kidney) was a part of the Packers' injury rehab group Thursday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Musgrave joined the likes of non-participants Christian Watson (hamstring) and AJ Dillon (thumb), while his healthy teammates went outside for practice. The rookie second-round pick has been sidelined since he was hospitalized following the Packers' Week 11 win against the Chargers due to a lacerated kidney, which forced an IR stint.

Uncertain for remainder of 2023
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he doesn't know if Musgrave (abdomen) will be able to play again this season, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Musgrave isn't eligible to return from injured reserve until Week 16, but he appears to be at risk of missing the final seven contests of his rookie season due to a lacerated kidney. While Josiah Deguara (hip) and Musgrave were out for the Packers' Week 12 win over the Lions, rookie Tucker Kraft started at tight end and played 96 percent of the offensive snaps while finishing with two catches for 15 yards and one touchdown. Kraft should be in line for an expanded role moving forward.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Musgrave has since been diagnosed with a lacerated kidney, and after landing on IR, the rookie tight end will now be sidelined for at least the next four games.

However, coach Matt LaFleur revealed Tuesday that Musgrave reported an abdominal injury Monday and subsequently spent time in the hospital, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Musgrave is in a Green Bay area hospital due to a "pretty serious" abdominal injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Musgrave managed to play 63 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday versus the Chargers on his way to four catches on six targets for 28 yards. According to LaFleur, Musgrave didn't mention the abdominal issue until Monday, and the fact that he's hospitalized two days before a game is a strong sign the rookie tight end will miss the first contest of his career Thursday at Detroit.

Draws six more targets
Musgrave was targeted six times and caught four passes for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: A quiet afternoon in the box score could have been a rather loud one had quarterback Jordan Love connected with a streaking Musgrave on a likely long gain in the third quarter, but alas it was not meant to be. On the bright side, Musgrave drew his most targets in a game since Week 5, and Love set a career high for passing yards for the second week in a row. Musgrave caught just one pass when the Packers faced their next opponent, the Lions, in their first meeting of the year in Week 4, but he…read more

Records career-high 64 yards
Musgrave was targeted four times and caught two passes for 64 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.
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. The rookie will have a chance to keep his momentum going in Week 11 with the Packers facing a Chargers defense that has been beaten routinely by tight ends over the last four weeks.

Musgrave caught three of four targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Musgrave's day was highlighted by a well-designed, 20-yard touchdown, which not only marked Musgrave's first career score but also effectively sealed Green Bay's first victory since Week 3. With an impressive 25-yard catch Sunday as well, Musgrave turned in a quality overall display. He'll strive to keep his positive play going in Week 10 versus the Steelers.

Ready for Week 9
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. He'll look for a more fruitful outing Week 9 versus a Rams defense that has allowed an NFL-high 9.2 yards per target to tight ends this season.

Stays limited in practice
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Musgrave (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Musgrave maintained his same level of practice activity from Wednesday, but if he's able to get back to full participation Friday, he could re-emerge as a more of a factor in Green Bay's passing game this Sunday against the Rams. After sustaining a left ankle injury during Week 7 action, Musgrave proceeded to suit up and play 74 percent of the Packers' snaps on offense in last week's loss to the Vikings, but he finished with a meager two catches for nine yards on three targets.

Musgrave (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Musgrave initially suffered a left ankle injury during the Packers' Week 7 loss at Denver, but he was able to play through the issue this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a typical 74 percent snap share and gathering in two of 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
