I'm thinking that Musgrave wouldn't be practicing at all if there was any serious risk at this point. He's said he wants to return this year .. LaFleur said he's champing at the bit to get back out there. It's a big game .. I think he plays, but with Kraft's emergence it's not as pressing as it once was to get Musgrave out there. Maybe they just wait until the Bears game? Edited December 25, 2023 by {Family Ghost} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound that way. He had one of those weird injuries where I'm guessing the rehab isn't all that significant once he's medically cleared. Basically once the kidney heals I'm assuming he'd be ready to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fall to the ground, tackle, block, impact is force that could disrupt things around a healing kidney. Too much risk would be my guess given the history of GB medical staff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Really need Watson out there. Changes a lot of what the defenses play and can open things up underneath for Wicks, Reed, (if they can play). As sad as it is, we need long, time consuming drives to keep our defense off the field. Kraft needs to stop trying to jump over people. All kinds of bad stuff can happen with that. Need that guy healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to think about what the offense might be when all the pieces are finally in place, but the Musgrave injury has done wonders for accelerating Kraft's development. TE has gone from train wreck to position of strength in a single season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost Wonnum for sure yesterday and potentially Addison and Hock for this game. Would really enjoy if Wicks, Reed, Watson and Musgrave could play. Don't think we've seen the top 5 WRs, top 2 backs and top 2 TEs available for a single snap all year. We might score 100 and with Joe Barry, we might need every single point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are "Watson-lite" type players in the upcoming draft on day 3, I don't hate the idea of taking a shot on one of them. Watson being in the lineup makes a big difference, and it would be nice to have a similar option on the roster in place of someone like Toure. Finding a Janis clone whose also a ST demon would be perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he'll play vs Minn, but if the Packers lose, theres no point in playing him vs Chicago IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Quote Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN Initial outlook is ‘not good’ on #Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson’s knee injury, per source. Team hoping to be surprised by today’s MRI but bracing for damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 If Cousins doesn't re-sign with Minnesota next year we should poach him and relegate him to the practice squad. That way teams who face us next year won't have to worry about their Super Bowl hopes being ruined by losing to us, although we all know we're going to win it all next year. I guarantee it.

SteelKing728 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 You are destined to play the Jets next year. You hear me? Destined!! Nick Favre might throw the dumbest INT in the history of this game against you guys (although he might have already done that against Cincy) but rest assured, he will be our savior!!!! ...And then ruin our draft position the following week lol Anyways, to be quite honest, I don't think either team in this contest is good enough for the playoffs. Stupid primetime game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Huge game for the Love/MLF tandem. Must win game, on the road vs a playoff contending division rival. If this young offense can look sharp in this game, we should be very excited about that side of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I seriously wouldn’t mind letting our dbacks just play man all game. At the very least put pressure on Mullens and force him to throw up some ducks. Think we have a good chance if we get a few dudes back. Vikings always play us tough, regardless of their injuries.
