Musgrave's return to the lineup could reduce the amount of targets Dontayvion Wicks will receive. He's struggled with drops this year which has caused his role in the offense to wax and wane.

Welcome back, Luke Musgrave? After suffering an ankle injury in Week 4, the Packers’ tight end discussed his potential return on Monday night against the Saints.

Musgrave’s mother was on the U.S. developmental ski team in the 1980s, and Luke won several events as a teenager both in the U.S. and in Europe after starting to ski at the age of 4.

LaFleur said the team hopes to get Musgrave back this season. If he does go on injured reserve, the soonest he would be eligible to play is Nov. 17 against the Bears, which is after the Packers' bye.

In 10 games, Musgrave racked up 341 receiving yards on 33 catches. In franchise history, only 2000 first-round pick Bubba Franks caught more passes (34) for more yards (363) among rookie tight ends.

Even when healthy, Musgrave didn’t get too much playing time in 2024. During the first four games, Kraft played 227 snaps to Musgrave’s 108.

Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave are entering Year 3 in the NFL. Expect the Packers' tight end duo to be a big part of the passing game in 2025.

Leavitt said that Musgrave reminds him of Kelce, a four-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler who has helped the Chiefs win two Super Bowls since the start of the 2019 season.
