GREEN BAY, Wis. — On July 29, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that the team was still gathering information on the mysterious neck injury that has kept tight end Luke Musgrave out of training camp.

More than a month later, it’s still unclear what exactly is hindering the former second-round pick, but Gutekunst expressed confidence that Musgrave will be able to play at some point this season.

“Yeah, again, really hopeful, and I expect that to happen,” said Gutekunst. “He’s dealing with a neck thing, so we’ve got some time here before we’re able to figure that out.”
