Luke Musgrave (TE - GB)

8/27/26 9:01 AM - Packers sign veteran TE Jonnu Smith. Luke Musgrave dealing with neck injury

Sources: The #Packers are signing former Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith to a 1-year deal. One of the NFL’s most respected veterans, Smith has amassed 345 career catches and 30 TDs. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FF Today's Take: The Packers were in need of tight end help as backup Luke Musgrave is dealing with a neck injury that may land him on IR-Return to start the season. Jonnu spent last season with the Steelers and didn't make much of a fantasy impact (38-222-2). He won't be expected to make a fantasy impact with the Packers either as long as Tucker Kraft (knee) remains healthy.
