If we are talking to TEN, wouldn't hurt to ask about Chig Okonkwo as well.

Should be ready in time for week one next season. Now the question becomes whether he's playing out the final year of his deal, plays enough to prove he's healthy and signs an extension mid-season, or the Packers go ahead and extend him next spring anyway, probably at an amount less than he'd have gotten had he stayed healthy.

Absolutely brutal for their Superbowl chances. They dont have anyone who can do the things Kraft does

I think they try to re-sign him at a discount this offseason.

As far as guys on the offense, this is the most devastating loss we could have suffered outside of a Love injury. Absolute gut punch.

I imagine we will now me in the market for a TE

Two names that are out there are Kyle Pitts and David Njoku

Bad timing to lose Sims to the Vikings. Fitzpatrick is going to get a lot of run with the 1st unit I imagine.

They should mix some more Chris Brooks in there to help with the pass blocking. Give JLove more time and help this makeshift O-line out with a safety net.

Just get another cheap body at TE. Don't throw more draft picks at a short-term band-aid who probably isn't gonna be a difference-maker. You need to see if Musgrave can become the receiving weapon you envisioned him being when you spent a day-2 pick on him either way. The solution is internal. Get Watson and Golden more involved in the offense.

Is Watson cleared on the Concussion protocol?

May be a bit outside of the box thinking, but just lineup Heath at TE in Tucker's spot.

He came back in the game so I hope so.

So many people wanted to trade Musgrave. I was never a fan of the pick, but Kraft has suffered so many injuries this year (mostly d/t bad luck) that you needed to hold on to Musgrave for this reason.

Thanks. I had to leave the house for most of the fourth quarter. I got back inside just in time to see the Carolina victory celebration... :evil:

Yeah you have to hope Musgrave steps up and proves his worth in the wake of Tuckers injury. He's flashed in the past. Hopefully he can step up

The real issue is just how beat up we are when it comes to our pass catchers.

At one point yesterday (versus our preseason list) we were without Kraft, Reed, Watson, Golden and Wicks.

That's 5 of our 6 best recieving options.

MLF and Love had rough days yesterday no doubt but that's getting absolutely crazy with the amount of wear and tear we are dealing with at that spot right now

As a temporary thing, does Melton get pulled back into being a WR?

That performance against carolina and Kraft's injury threw so much ice water on my boner that I can be convinced to be minor sellers at the deadline. This is not a super bowl contender.

Mags FTW · Post #1799 » by **Mags FTW** » Mon Nov 3, 2025 7:35 pm

I wouldn't go as far as selling. There is no juggernaut in the NFC, or the entire league for that matter, where if we met them in the playoffs I would say we had no chance of beating them.

Eh, this is way too close to the ledge. We've lost two games on last second field goals and have soundly beaten every playoff caliber team on the schedule so far (Detroit, Pittsburgh, Commanders when they were still healthy). Philly game is gonna tell us a lot though.
