Deguara (hip) was a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Deguara has now appeared as a non-participant on both of the Packers' first two Week 12 injury report while he recovers from the hip issue he , as he sustained in Sunday's win over the Chargers. With Luke Musgrave nursing a serious abdominal issue, Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims would be the only healthy tight ends available Thursday against the Lions if Musgrave and Deguara are unable to suit up.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Musgrave is in a Green Bay area hospital due to a "pretty serious" abdominal injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Musgrave managed to play 63 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday versus the Chargers on his way to four catches on six targets for 28 yards. According to LaFleur, Musgrave didn't mention the abdominal issue until Monday, and the fact that he's hospitalized two days before a game is a strong sign the rookie tight end will miss the first contest of his career Thursday at Detroit. Assuming he is inactive for that game, Tucker Kraft could assume the vast majority of TE reps for Green Bay with Josiah Deguara (hip) also listed as a non-participant on the practice reports Monday and Tuesday.

Trautman secured both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Vikings.

Trautman put together another unimpressive performance Sunday, although 33 receiving yards represented his second-highest total of the season. Despite playing in all 10 of the Broncos' games, the veteran tight end has amassed just 15 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown this season. Trautman is not a major part of Denver's offensive game plan and won't make for a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 12 against the stingy Browns defense.

LaPorta caught three of five targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Bears.

Despite facing soft pass defenses of late, LaPorta hasn't seen any work in the red zone since Detroit came out of a Week 9 bye with its two-headed monster (David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs) at running back fully healthy. The rookie tight end has also gotten less work in general, as LaPorta saw just five targets each of the past two weeks after averaging 7.4 per game in eight games before the bye. He will look to get back on track during a Thanksgiving Day game against a middling Packers defense that's allowing 48.2 receiving yards per game to tight ends.

Okonkwo recorded one reception (on two targets) for six yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Jaguars.

Okonkwo saw his lowest target total and production since Week 1, continuing his disappointing 2023 campaign. Though he's tallied at least three catches in seven of 10 games, he's topped 30 receiving yards in a contest only twice.

Stoll caught one of two targets for three yards in Monday's 21-17 win over Kansas City.

Stoll was the only Eagles tight end to earn a target in the first game of what's expected to be a multi-week absence for Dallas Goedert (forearm), but it doesn't appear that Stoll will get a chance to replicate Goedert's target volume. With Goedert likely to remain sidelined Week 12 against the Bills, Stoll should continue to lead a tight end room that also includes Grant Calcaterra and Albert Okwuegbunam.

Kelce brought in seven of nine targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 21-17 loss to the Eagles on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Kelce finished as the Chiefs' leader in receptions on the night and also recorded his fifth touchdown grab of the season on a four-yard catch with 1:45 remaining in the first half. However, he consistently was held to short gains by the Eagles defense, and his fumble at Philadelphia's nine-yard line early in the fourth quarter ended up being very critical in what turned out to be a four-point loss. Kelce now has at least seven receptions in five of his first nine games of the season and next tangles with the improving Raiders on the road Week 12.

Parkinson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

Parkinson dealt with a bicep injury during the week but was able to play through it. He finished third among Seahawks tight ends with 21 offensive snaps. The fourth-year tight end has been targeted twice over the past four weeks.

Dissly caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

Dissly played 25 offensive snaps (40 percent), finishing slightly ahead of Colby Parkinson (21) but significantly behind Noah Fant (40). Dissly has produced nine receptions for 87 yards and no touchdowns this year.

The Packers listed Deguara (hip) as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Deguara injured his hip during Sunday's win against the Chargers, putting his status for Thursday's matchup with Detroit in question. With Luke Musgrave (abdomen) also dealing with an injury, Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims now are the only healthy tight ends on Green Bay's roster.
