Packers TE Josiah Deguara’s role shrinking on offense

Over the last three weeks, Josiah Deguara’s role on the Green Bay Packers offense has been dwindling, and following the Pittsburgh game, is nearly non-existent.

Through the first six games of the Packers season, Deguara was averaging 20.5 snaps per game. In the last three, he has a grand total of only 23 offensive snaps, including just five this past Sunday.

To a degree, I would guess that Deguara somewhat being phased out of the offense as the season progressed may have always been a part of the plan with the Packers spending a second-round pick on Luke Musgrave, a third-round pick on Tucker Kraft, and claiming rookie Ben Sims off waivers following roster cutdowns.
