The ankle injury for Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave might have worsened. After getting in a limited practice on Wednesday, Musgrave was not participating during Thursday’s practice, per Mike Spofford of the team’s official site.
Musgrave didn’t practice last week but was active as an emergency option last week against the Los Angeles Rams. He did not play a snap in the game.
It’s possible Musgrave aggravated the injury during Wednesday’s practice. Or the injury isn’t responding to on-field movement and Musgrave needed the day off Thursday. Either way, Musgrave’s absence Thursday — combined with his uncertain availability for Sunday’s visit from the Arizona Cardinals — likely contributed to the Packers signing tight end John FitzPatrick off the practice squad of the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday.
