Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Luke Musgrave (concussion) exits Week 4, doesn’t return
Luke Musgrave (concussion) exited Thursday’s game against the Lions and was eventually ruled out.
Fantasy Impact
Musgrave has been the Packers’ top tight end this season but managed just one catch for one yard before departing in Week 4. The Packers don’t play again for another 11 days, but if the rookie is forced to miss time, Tucker Kraft and Josiah Deguara would likely earn more snaps.

Gerald Everett (illness) non-participant Thursday
Gerald Everett (illness) was a non-participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Thursday is the second-straight day that Everett has missed because of an illness. It’s not thought to be more than a minor issue, and he is presumably on a day-to-day timeline for right now. He should play on Sunday and projects to be a solid starting option with Mike Williams out for the season because of a torn ACL.

Marquise Brown (thumb) limited Thursday
Marquise Brown (thumb) was limited at Arizona’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Brown is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a thumb injury of some kind that left him limited at practice. It’s unclear just how serious it is, but it looks like he’s trending towards playing at this point. In the off-chance that he’s out on Sunday, Rondale Moore and rookie Michael Wilson will both get more work in his absence.

Tyler Higbee (achilles) does not practice Thursday
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (achilles) did not participate in practice Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The team has not released any information on the severity of Higbee’s achilles injury. Consecutive days of not practicing though certainly have the veteran tight end trending in the wrong direction. Fantasy managers should expect Brycen Hopkins to see additional snaps if Higbee is unable to suit up in Week 4.
