Luke Musgrave Gets Good Playing Time in Tucker Kraft's WakeGreen Bay's first game since losing TE Tucker Kraft to an ACL tear found Luke Musgrave working as the clear lead tight end. His 52 total snaps trailed only WR Christian Watson and QB Jordan Love among non-linemen on offense. Musgrave drew just three targets, ranking sixth among Packers in that category. But he caught all three to finish third on the team in receptions amid a bad offensive outing. Musgrave collected 23 yards on those catches. He also drew a 21-yard pass-interference penalty midway through the fourth quarter to get Green Bay into the red zone on the drive that culminated in the Packers' only TD.
Luke Musgrave caught all three targets for 23 yards in the Packers' Week 10 loss to the Eagles.Musgrave failed to live up to the lofty shoes he is filling the Green Bay offense following the season-ending injury to Tucker Kraft, used mostly as a blocker in a game the Packers focused their efforts on the ground game. His next chance to return usable counting stats comes in Week 11 against a reeling Giants team that just fired its head coach.
Luke Musgrave: Three catches as top tight endMusgrave brought in all three targets for 23 yards in the Packers' 10-7 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Packers WR Matthew Golden (shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 10 against the Eagles.The Packers reportedly held out hope as long as they could considering the season-ending injury to Tucker Kraft, but the talented rookie wide receiver will be unable to play against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Luke Musgrave stand to benefit in his absence, while Malik Heath could see an increase in snaps as well. Savion Williams, also listed as questionable, could see his highest snap rate of the season, if active.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Matthew Golden (shoulder) is "fighting to play" in Week 10 against the Eagles.While Golden may be fighting to play, that doesn't mean he will. LaFleur wouldn't commit to the 22-year-old receiver practicing Saturday after he was absent from the practice field on Friday. He did say that Golden hasn't suffered a setback and is day-to-day, but he also said that earlier this week. Golden is a strict avoid for fantasy managers even if he is active in Week 10 as targets will likely condense around Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Luke Musgrave anyway.
