Luke Musgrave returns to Packers practice

The Packers may be getting tight end Luke Musgrave back in the lineup in the near future.

Reporters at the open portion of Wednesday’s practice shared that Musgrave is taking part in his first on-field work since having ankle surgery early this season. Musgrave’s presence on the field means that his 21-day practice window has been opened and he could be activated at any time in the next three weeks.

Musgrave had five catches for 22 yards in the first four games of the season. The 2023 second-round pick had 34 catches for 352 yards and a touchdown during his rookie season.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), and cornerback Corey Ballentine (knee) were also practicing. All four players missed last Thursday’s loss to the Lions.
