Luke Musgrave has "realistic" chance of playing vs Bears

Rookie tight end Luke Musgrave has a "realistic" chance of playing in the Packers regular season finale against the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Matt LaFleur

A second-round draft pick, Musgrave was off to a good start to his rookie campaign with 33 catches for 341 yards and a touchdowns prior to being placed on Injured Reserve due to a lacerated kidney he suffered in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Since Musgrave was placed on injured reserve, fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has filled in admirably. According to the Packers Dope Sheet, the two rookies together are the second rookie tight end combo since the 1970 merger to both have 25+ catches, 300+ receiving yards, and at least one receiving touchdown since Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez did it in the 2010-11 NFL season.
