On Monday, following the team’s loss to the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that tight end Luke Musgrave recently underwent surgery to the ankle that landed him on the injured reserve. Musgrave previously tried to play through the injury before the staff realized how serious the injury was and chose to shut him down for an extended period of time.
Because of the timing of the injury, there was hope that Musgrave would be able to return in Week 11 against the Chicago Bears, the first game that he would be eligible to play in based on the NFL’s injured reserve rules.
