With TE Luke Musgrave out, larger role awaits Packers rookies Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims

The Green Bay Packers will be without Luke Musgrave against the Detroit Lions after he suffered a “significant” abdomen injury in Sunday’s win over Los Angeles. This means the Packers will be relying heavily on rookies Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims.

“Obviously, a significant blow for us offensively,” coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday. “Like we always talk about, it’s going to be opportunities for these other guys, for Tucker, for Ben, to really show what they can do.”

Over the course of the season, Kraft has seen his role expand within the offense.
