The Packers signed TE Jonnu Smith to a one-year deal. The 31-year-old is coming off a poor season in Pittsburgh that produced just 38 catches, 222 yards, and 2 TDs in 17 games.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave seemed poised for an at least decent offensive role after Tucker Kraft's ACL tear. Musgrave caught three passes in the game Kraft left -- the Week 9 loss to Carolina -- and another three in the loss to Philadelphia. That contest also found him playing a season-high 76.5% of the offensive snaps. But Musgrave has declined to snap shares of just 34.5% and 37.9% the past two weeks. Sunday's win over the Vikings also marked the second straight game in which Musgrave ranked third among TEs in playing time.

The forecast for today's Packers-Giants game calls for sustained winds of 20 mph with gusts between 30-40 mph. That's enough to likely impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. We're downgrading both passing games in this one and would avoid both kickers. The over/under in this game has dipped from 43.5 on Thursday to 42.5.

Green 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.

Further testing confirmed that Packers TE Tucker Kraft tore his right ACL in the Week 9 loss to the Panthers. He'll miss the rest of the 2025 season. Kraft will have a little over 10 months to get ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. Assuming this was a relatively clean tear with no additional damage, Kraft should have a good chance to be ready for Week 1.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft's knee injury "doesn't look good," HC Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's loss to the Panthers. This is a right knee injury for Kraft, who hurt his left knee in practice back in September. Former NFL head team Dr. David Chao believes Kraft has an MCL injury based on the video. That'd be better than an ACL but could still cost Kraft multiple weeks. We should learn more about the injury over the next 24 hours. Luke Musgrave will step in as Green Bay's lead TE for however long Kraft is out and is worth adding in deeper fantasy leagues.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft suffered a right knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He needed help getting off the field. We'll update Kraft's status when we know more. Luke Musgrave would step in as Green Bay's lead TE if Kraft misses time.

Update: Kraft has been ruled out.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, despite a left knee injury he suffered in practice this week. Kraft missed practice Friday and then turned up questionable on the final injury report.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) is officially questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He didn’t practice on Friday after suffering what’s been reported as a minor knee injury on Thursday. HC Matt LaFleur suggested Friday morning that Kraft could be a game-time decision. We’ll keep you updated on his status and get Green Bay’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Kraft’s absence would turn TE Luke Musgrave into a low-level spot starter.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft injured his left knee in Thursday's practice, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says, "the belief is it's not a long-term issue." And ESPN's Rob Demovsky: "Kraft is undergoing tests to determine the severity, but the Packers have reason to believe it's not a season-ending type injury." We'll update this story as we learn more. At minimum, Kraft is seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. His absence would leave Luke Musgrave as Green Bay's top TE -- and a potential fantasy option.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave has been activated from IR and will play against the Saints tonight, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Musgrave had ankle surgery in October and hasn’t played since Week 4. "They’ll ease him in," Pelissero adds. Musgrave is nothing more than a flier in one-game DFS tournaments. We don't expect him to have a significant impact on TE Tucker Kraft's playing time tonight.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Thursday that TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) will "more than likely" go on IR. That'd knock him out for the next four games, which runs into Green Bay's Week 10 bye. Musgrave can be dropped in all redraft leagues. His absence locks in TE Tucker Kraft as a full-time player -- and a fantasy TE1.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Musgrave “will be limited at best.” He’s not a fantasy option.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave will test out his injured ankle in pregame warmups before determining whether he'll play vs. the Rams today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "But even if he can make it back, he will be limited at best," Schefter adds. The news just keeps getting better for TE Luke Musgrave, who has already been playing well ahead of Musgrave and should also find additional target opportunity today with WRs Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs out.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of 50/50. Musgrave shouldn’t be in your Week 5 fantasy plans, but his absence would be a boost for TE Tucker Kraft.

Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (personal) are listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. So Green Bay is suddenly down two of its top three WRs in terms of playing time so far this season. It’s a huge opportunity for WR Dontayvion Wicks, while WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft should also pick up extra volume. We’re expecting WRs Bo Melton and Malik Heath to split Doubs’ snaps.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He’s a little over three weeks removed from spraining his MCL and likely won’t have his usual mobility today. That could be an issue against a blitz-heavy Minnesota defense. Love sits well into QB2 territory in the Week 4 Rankings. But his return is excellent news for Green Bay's WRs and TEs.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a shoulder injury. He was on this week's injury report with a shoulder, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll update Kraft's status when we know more. His absence will mean a boost in snaps for TE Luke Musgrave.

Update: Kraft returned to the game.
