The Green Bay Packers had great news on their injury reports on Friday, and tight end Luke Musgrave practiced for the first time this week. Musgrave has been dealing with an ankle injury.
It will be interesting to see whether or not Luke Musgrave will start on Sunday for the Packers. If he can not play against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie Tucker Kraft will make his first career start at tight end.
Musgrave suffered the ankle injury last week against the Denver Broncos when Kareem Jackson illegally hit him. The rookie out of Oregon State has caught 22 passes for 189 yards receiving and zero touchdowns so far this season. He is averaging 8.6 yards per reception.

Will See If Luke Musgrave Plays for the Green Bay Packers, and it Feels 50-50
It is good that Musgrave showed up to practice and participated in drills on Friday for Green Bay. It gives him more of a 50-50 chance to play on Sunday. It feels like he will be listed as questionable for the game rather than doubtful, but we will see what head coach Matt LaFleur has to say about it.
Tucker Kraft told the media on Thursday about the possibility of starting on Sunday:
“I’ve been doing my thing the whole season. Keeping my head down, trying to be the first guy in the Don Hutson (Center), trying to show my healthy practice habits, try to have all the answers to the rules when I get on the field.”
This is good that Kraft is preparing to start on Sunday, even though Luke Musgrave returned to practice on Friday. This will be something to monitor leading up to Sunday’s game at home against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field.
