Overview
- The Packers placed John FitzPatrick on season-ending injured reserve after tests confirmed he tore his Achilles in the loss to the Bears.
- With Tucker Kraft already out with an ACL tear, Luke Musgrave is the only healthy tight end on the 53-man roster as Josh Whyle remains in concussion protocol.
- Matt LaFleur said he and GM Brian Gutekunst have a plan to stabilize the position, evaluating practice-squad call-ups and potential outside signings.
- Practice-squad tight ends McCallan Castles and Drake Dabney are internal options, and veteran Marcedes Lewis could be signed off Denver’s practice squad under a three-week roster guarantee rule.
- Using the open roster spot, Green Bay activated rookie defensive end Collin Oliver from the PUP list, and an addition at tight end is expected before the Ravens game.
