Josh Oliver Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 18 with Ankle Injury

Sunday, January 4, 3:00 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers after suffering an ankle injury. Oliver recorded two catches for 29 yards on two targets before exiting the game. The 28-year-old will finish the 2025 season with 15 catches for 160 yards and four touchdowns on 19 targets across 15 games played. Minnesota entered the game already without tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), so the team is now working without its top two players at the position. Without Hockenson and Oliver, the Vikings will likely rely on tight ends Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims for the remainder of Week 18.

Luke Musgrave Suffers Undisclosed Injury

Wednesday, June 10, 8:06 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) suffered an undisclosed injury during offseason practice on Tuesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't specify Musgrave's injury, but he was on the treadmill in the rehab area to start Wednesday's practice. With training camp still over a month away, the Packers aren't going to push the 25-year-old in practice in early June. The former second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Oregon State became an interesting waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues when Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL last year, but unfortunately, Musgrave never became a big part of the Packers' passing attack and finished with only 24 receptions on 31 targets for 252 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games (10 starts). Kraft is tracking toward being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall, so Musgrave will merely be battling for a backup role at TE in Green Bay this summer.
