Packers Elevate Luke Musgrave After Tucker Kraft’s Season-Ending ACL Tear

A report says Green Bay nearly traded Musgrave before the injury.

Overview

  • Musgrave is expected to take over as the starting tight end with a larger workload, and the coaching staff views his speed as a downfield asset.
  • Kraft led the team with 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns before tearing his ACL in a 16-13 loss to the Panthers.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur says replacing Kraft’s output will require a collective effort across the offense.
  • For depth, the Packers activated Josh Whyle from the practice squad and also have John FitzPatrick, after Ben Sims was claimed by the Vikings.
  • Newsweek reports Green Bay nearly moved Musgrave to the Broncos or Jaguars for a Day 3 pick, and the 5-2-1 Packers host the Eagles on Monday night.
