Luke Musgrave News
Tuesday, August 18, 6:01 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (neck) is currently on the physically unable to perform list due to a neck injury sustained during the team's mandatory minicamp in June, and there's a growing belief he could carry the designation into the regular season. In a recent 53-man roster projection, CHTV co-founder Aaron Nagler and Justis Mosqueda of Acme Packing Company have Musgrave starting the regular season on the PUP list, making him ineligible to play in the team's first four games. Multiple tight end sets project to be a major part of the Packers offense in 2026, but with Musgrave potentially unavailable to begin the year and Tucker Kraft (knee) facing a potential snap count as he works back from the ACL injury that ended his 2025 campaign, that plan could be put on pause. With the team potentially leaning on three-receiver sets early in the season, the trio of Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Jayden Reed all become attractive targets at their current draft costs.

Jake Tonges News
Monday, July 27, 11:38 AM
San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges was active during the team's first training camp practice Sunday, with 49ers.com reporting that quarterback Brock Purdy connected with him during team periods. The report did not include a target or reception total, so the early involvement should not be treated as evidence of a major role change. Tonges caught 34 passes for 293 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games in 2025 after entering the season without a regular-season NFL reception. Four of those touchdowns came from inside the opponent's 20-yard line, and San Francisco re-signed him to a two-year contract in March. Tonges could receive additional opportunities while George Kittle (Achilles) remains on the Active/PUP list, though Luke Farrell, Brayden Willis, and Tanner McLachlan are also part of the tight end room. Tonges is worth monitoring in deeper formats during Kittle's recovery, but one early camp connection with Purdy is not enough to establish a dependable fantasy role.
