Packers activate TE Luke Musgrave for Monday night game, offensive coordinator praises his talent

u/alex • 4w

The Green Bay Packers are activating tight end Luke Musgrave for Monday night's game against the New Orleans Saints.

Why it matters: Musgrave's return adds depth and options to the Packers' offense, particularly in two-tight end sets.

Musgrave suffered an ankle injury in Week 4 and underwent surgery to repair it.
He returned to practice less than two weeks ago and is expected to have a limited snap count in his first game back.

What's new: The Packers added Musgrave to the active roster just hours before the game against the Saints, indicating his readiness to contribute.

Yes, but: While Musgrave's return is positive, the Packers have not had much opportunity to utilize him and fellow tight end Tucker Kraft together on the field.

The two were drafted in the same year with the intention of playing in two-tight end sets, but they have only participated in 125 plays together.
Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich expressed excitement about having both Musgrave and Kraft on the field together, praising their talent and versatility.

Quotes:

Adam Stenavich on Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft: "It'll be great to get those guys out there again together. I think they're both very talented players and they both have different skill sets, which is cool, but they're both tough kids you can use in the run and the pass game. It's fun to have those guys."

What to watch: Keep an eye on how the Packers incorporate Musgrave into their offensive schemes and whether he develops a strong connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

What's next: If Musgrave performs well in his return and proves to be a reliable option, he could see an increased role in future games.

The bottom line: The activation of Luke Musgrave provides a boost to the Packers' offense, adding another weapon for Aaron Rodgers and enhancing their versatility in formations and play-calling.
