News

  • Inking with Jacksonville

    The Jaguars are slated to sign Deguara to a one-year contract, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

    Analysis: Deguara spent the last four seasons handling a depth role in Green Bay, where he was drafted in the third round back in 2020. His versatility both as a blocker and on special teams will boost his chances of earning playing time behind Evan Engram, but Deguara peaked with a 25-245-2 receiving line in 2021 and doesn't appear to have much fantasy potential.

  • Fills bit role in 2023

    Deguara was targeted eight times and had eight receptions for 65 yards over 15 games in the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: Deguara suited up for every game he was healthy for, but he was mainly limited to blocking duties and special teams. He will have a chance to return to Green Bay as an unrestricted free agent, but the sides could go in different directions after four years.

  • Cleared for Week 14

    Deguara (hip) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Deguara has been out of action since suffering the injury in Week 11 against the Chargers, but the Cincinnati product should be clear to return Monday against the Giants. His ability to get back on the field should be a boost for the Packers' tight end group with Luke Musgrave (abdomen) still on IR.

  • Set to miss second straight game

    Deguara (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara sustained the hip injury in Week 11 against the Chargers. There was optimism he would play in Week 13 after stringing together three limited sessions leading up to Sunday's contest, but he'll sit out for the second straight week. In Deguara's absence, Ben Sims will take over as the backup tight end behind Tucker Kraft.

  • Questionable Week 13

    Deguara (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end missed Green Bay's Week 12 win over the Lions, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he has a chance of returning Sunday. If Deguara were to miss his second consecutive game, Ben Sims would likely see an increased workload on the Packers' offense.

  • Limited practice Wednesday

    Deguara (hip) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Deguara was unavailable for the team's 29-22 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving due to a hip injury, so his ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a step in the right direction for his availability Week 13. The tight end will have two more chances to increase his workload prior to Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.

  • Inactive Week 12, as expected

    Deguara (hip) is officially inactive for Thursday's contest against Detroit, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara was deemed doubtful Wednesday for the Thanksgiving clash, so it's no surprise that he isn't suiting up. The 26-year-old had played in each of Green Bay's 10 contests prior to Week 12, working in a hybrid tight end/fullback role. The Packers elevated Henry Pearson from the practice squad Wednesday to cover fullback duties versus the Lions.

  • Doubtful for Thursday's matchup

    Deguara (hip) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup due to a hip injury suffered during last week's win over the Chargers. With Luke Musgrave (abdomen) placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims will likely be the only two healthy tight ends on Green Bay's roster when they take on the Lions.

  • Estimated as non-participant

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Misses Monday's practice

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

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

  • Hip issue has status in doubt

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Dealing with hip issue

    Deguara is questionable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a hip injury.

    Analysis: Deguara remains on Green Bay's sideline, and he's getting looked at by the team's medical staff. For the time being, Tucker Kraft should see increased opportunities on the Packers' offense.

  • Back in regular role

    Deguara caught his only target for 19 yards in Monday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: The fourth-year tight end played over 60 percent of the snaps in Week 4 after Luke Musgrave exited the contest due to a concussion, but Deguara was back into a part-time role Monday. Expect him to remain in that spot when the Packers return to action in Week 7 after their bye.

  • Efficient on four targets in loss

    Deguara secured all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Deguara finished second in receptions for the Packers on the night and tied for third in targets. The fourth-year tight end's season-best line was largely the byproduct of position mate Luke Musgrave leaving the game for good in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. Despite Thursday's modest spike in production, Deguara figures to return to a complementary role behind Musgrave if the latter is cleared to return against the Raiders for a Week 5 matchup on Monday night, Oct. 9.

  • Sees action Saturday

    Deguara (calf) saw action in Saturday's 19-15 preseason victory over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Deguara did not make a mark in the box score, but he appeared in a second straight game after missing the exhibition opener with a calf issue. Deguara, listed as a fullback on Green Bay's official depth chart, is not a lock to open the regular season on the roster. However, he worked as a tight end in the past, and that experience could pay off with only three tight ends healthy for the Packers.

  • Unlikely to play Friday

    Deguara (calf) isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason contest at Cincinnati, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara has been dealing with a calf injury for more than a week, but he was able to return for some drills at Wednesday's joint practice with the Bengals. With Deguara unavailable, the Packers will roll with Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft (knee), Tyler Davis and Austin Allen at tight end in their exhibition opener.

  • Still held out of team drills

    Deguara (calf) returned to practice Wednesday but isn't participating in team drills, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara is likely considered limited at Wednesday's practice after missing roughly a week of camp due to a calf injury. His status for Friday's preseason opener against the Bengals still appears uncertain, but it's nonetheless positive to see Deguara back on the field in some capacity. Following the offseason departure of Robert Tonyan, Deguara is primarily competing with rookies Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft (knee) for snaps at tight end.

  • Bothered by calf

    Deguara missed Thursday's practice with a calf injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick was already in a tough spot this summer, with the Packers using second- and third-round picks on tight ends in April after getting only 13 receptions out of Deguara last year. Robert Tonyan, now with the Bears, was easily Green Bay's top receiving option at tight end in 2022, pulling in 53 of 67 targets (79.1 percent) but for only 470 yards and two touchdowns. The competition to replace Tonyan might center around rookies Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft more so than…read more

  • Steps back in third season

    Deguara was targeted 15 times and caught 13 passes for 114 yards over 17 games in the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Deguara appeared in every game for the first time in his three-year career, but he finished with roughly half the number of receptions and yards as he did in 2021, and he also failed to find the end zone after doing so twice in the previous season. He will almost certainly be back with Green Bay for a fourth go-around, but chances are he will remain in a complementary role.

  • Active in Week 18

    Deguara (calf) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, Deguara returned to a limited session Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 18 action. Now that his status is confirmed, he'll continue to play a key role as a blocking tight end for the Packers offense, which doesn't hold much sway in fantasy considering he has a 13-114-0 line on 15 targets in 16 games this season.

  • Tabbed as questionable for Sunday

    The Packers list Deguara (calf) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Heading into a win-or-go-home matchup with the Lions in the regular-season finale, the Packers will have all members of the 53-man roster available aside from potentially Deguara, who is tending to the calf injury. After failing to practice Thursday on account of the injury, Deguara at least managed to take a step forward Friday by practicing on a limited basis. When available, Deguara has handled a small role as a depth tight end, never playing more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in a…read more

  • Dealing with injury

    Deguara did not participate during the Packers' practice Thursday due to a calf injury.

    Analysis: Deguara popped up on Green Bay's injury report with this issue for the first time Thursday. The 25-year-old was seen working on a stationary bike and stretching during Thursday's session, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, so it appears he may have picked up the injury at some point during practice Wednesday. Deguara has recorded 13 catches on 15 targets for 114 yards, and his biggest contributions have come as a blocker and core special-teamer. He'll have one…read more

  • Draws five targets in defeat

    Deguara caught all five of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: The tight end entered Sunday's contest with just six receptions for 65 yards over eight games, but the Packers needed more from him Sunday after rookie wideouts Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Christian Watson (head) exited early, and Deguara nearly doubled his production on the season. The Packers may continue looking for ways to get him more involved due to the attrition at wide receiver, but he is sharing snaps at tight end with Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis and thus remains on the fringes of…read more

  • Notches reception in Week 8

    Deguara recorded a nine-yard reception in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Deguara played a season-high 28 snaps (44 percent share) in the Week 8 loss, surpassing Marcedes Lewis as the Packers' No. 2 tight end for the first time all season. It's unclear if that trend will continue moving forward or if it was more of a result of the Bills having the game in hand by the fourth quarter, but either way, Deguara and Lewis will both be firmly behind starter Robert Tonyan in the pecking order for snaps at tight end.

  • Opens in reserve role

    Deguara was targeted twice and caught two passes for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Both of Deguara's receptions led to first downs, but they also both came on the Packers' final drive with backup quarterback Jordan Love at the helm. Deguara had a chance to open the season in a more prominent role with fellow tight end Robert Tonyan recovering from a knee injury, but with Tonyan not only taking the field but starting Week 1, expect Deguara to continue working as a reserve.

  • Shut out Thursday night

    Deguara was targeted once but did not catch a pass in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Deguara did not do much during the preseason, finishing with totals of six targets, three receptions and 23 yards. His versatility could help get him on the field when the regular season gets underway, but he may not get enough looks to make a fantasy impact, particularly with fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) likely being ready to go early in the season, if not Week 1.

  • Fills several roles in scrimmage

    Deguara led Packers tight ends in first-team reps during Green Bay's Family Night event Friday, according to Justis Mosqueda of acmepackingcompany.com.

    Analysis: Deguara lined up as a tight end on only five plays Friday night, but be it in the backfield or in the slot, he was on the field for 10 others. When it was all said and done, only two Packers skill players -- and no one listed as a tight end -- racked up more snaps. Deguara started getting more involved later in his second season, and unless fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) makes rapid progress in the weeks ahead, Deguara seems poised to be the Packers' top option at his position Week 1.

  • Finishes season as starter

    Deguara was targeted 33 times and caught 25 passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns over 16 appearances in the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Deguara played a bit role early in the season, but he moved up the depth chart when fellow tight end Robert Tonyan suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 8 and finished the campaign as the Packers' top tight end. He did not do a whole lot outside of two long scores, but he was taken in the third round just two years ago, so he's going to get more opportunities in 2022. Just how many remains to be seen, as Tonyan will be a free agent this offseason.

  • Gets loose late in loss

    Deguara was targeted four times and caught three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Deguara did nearly all his damage on a 62-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he tied his career high for catches in a game and set a new career best in the receiving yards department. He led Packers tight ends in snaps six times over the team's last seven games and will head into the postseason as the team's top option at his position.

  • Does little in third straight

    Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 37-10 victory over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Deguara would have had a much better night had he hauled in an Aaron Rodgers pass into the end zone on the Packers' first drive, but alas, he failed to hit even the 20-yard mark for the third straight game. Deguara remains the most appealing fantasy option among Green Bay's tight ends, but with him producing minimally and the Packers having already sewn up the top seed in the NFC, there are likely better options to go with Week 18.

  • Operating as top tight end

    Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for five yards in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.

    Analysis: Deguara played at least 55 percent of the snaps for a third week in a row, and for the first time in his career was the only Packers tight end to spend more than half the offensive plays on the field. While those numbers seemingly point to him being the team's top option at the position, they have not translated into any meaningful production, as he has recorded just eight receptions for 65 yards in three games since the Week 13 bye. Deguara should again spend ample time on the field in the…read more

  • Little impact in win

    Deguara was targeted five times and caught three passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-30 victory over the Ravens.

    Analysis: While the five targets were a career high for Deguara, he was unable to do much with them, and he finished with no more than 16 yards for the fourth time in the six games the Packers have played since losing starting tight end Robert Tonyan (knee). Deguara did play more than 50 percent of the snaps for the second week in a row, and he will have the matchup in his favor in Week 16 against the Browns. However, his game log suggests he will be tough to trust in that contest.

  • Sets career highs in two categories

    Deguara was targeted three times and caught three passes for 44 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: The 44 yards were a career best for Deguara, as were the 37 snaps he played in Sunday's contest. He has not stamped himself as the Packers' top tight end, as teammate Marcedes Lewis racked up more yards and receptions Week 14 and played just one fewer snap. However, Deguara at least has done enough to put himself on the radar for Weeks 15 and 16, when the Packers will take on Ravens and Browns defenses that have been below average this season against opposing tight ends.

  • Two receptions in fifth straight

    Deguara was targeted four times and caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-28 victory over the Rams.

    Analysis: The Packers activated four tight ends for Sunday's contest, and although Deguara was not one of the two credited with a start, he still wound up leading all of them in snaps, targets and receiving yards. Deguara has established himself as the top fantasy option among Green Bay's tight ends, but he also averaged just a 44 percent snap share over the past two weeks and has not caught more than two passes in a game. As such, fantasy players should not feel obligated to hang onto him through the…read more

  • Tallies first career touchdown

    Deguara was targeted twice and caught two passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Deguara only got a couple opportunities to make a play Sunday, but he capitalized on the biggest one, hauling in a 25-yard pass into the end zone to bring the Packers within six points late in the second quarter. He has just 10 receptions this season, but the 2020 third-rounder looks like a player on the rise, as he has both caught two passes and seen his snap-count percentage increase in four straight games. His 27 snaps Sunday led Packers tight ends and were 10 more than Marcedes Lewis, the…read more

  • Plays season-high 25 snaps

    Deguara was targeted three times and caught two passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Deguara didn't provide much help for anyone that threw a dart at him in fantasy contests, but he did play a season-high 25 snaps in Sunday's contest. His role has expanded some since Robert Tonyan (knee) was lost for the season, and he now has two receptions in three straight games after catching just two passes all season prior to that. It could be tough for him to do much more than that Week 11, as he'll remain behind Marcedes Lewis on the depth chart and face a Vikings defense that has…read more

    Deguara was targeted twice and caught two passes for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Deguara matched the career-high two receptions he recorded Week 8, but he didn't do much for fantasy players who were hoping he would step up in the absence of fellow tight end Robert Tonyan (knee). Deguara will have more opportunities to contribute with Tonyan done for the season, but he played the third-most snaps among Packers tight ends Week 9, so his role wasn't markedly different than it was in previous weeks. Of course, his prospects could improve some once starting quarterback Aaron…read more

  • Career-high two catches Thursday

    Deguara hauled in both targets for 20 yards in Thursday's 24-21 win at Arizona.

    Analysis: Deguara doubled his catch count on the campaign in the process, and he's likely to earn more work moving forward after Robert Tonyan suffered a torn ACL in the contest. Per Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site, coach Mike LaFleur expects to take a "by-committee" approach at tight end moving forward, and because of the team's TE-heavy scheme Deguara may begin to realize the investment made in him as a third-round pick in the 2020 draft. Aside from Deguara, Green Bay trots out Marcedes…read more

  • Second reception this season

    Deguara was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Deguara has caught only two passes all season, but that's one more than he caught last year during his rookie campaign, when a torn ACL limited him to just two appearances. Deguara has played at least 20 percent of the snaps in four straight games, but he is operating as the Packers' third tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

  • Returns from bout with concussion

    Deguara (concussion) is active for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara completed the concussion protocol late in the week, while the Packers placed fellow tight end Dominique Dafney (hip) on injured reserve Saturday. With Dafney out for at least three contests, Deguara will join Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis as the team's top three TEs for the foreseeable future. In three career appearances, Deguara has earned just 36 offensive snaps en route to one catch (on two targets) for 12 yards.

  • No injury designation

    Deguara (concussion) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Week 3.

    Analysis: Deguara didn't play in Week 2 and was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, but his status took a turn for the better Friday. The 24-year-old shouldn't be on fantasy radars as he has played only five offensive snaps this season, but he may see increased reps in Week 3 if Dominique Dafney (hip) is sidelined.

  • Remains limited at practice

    Deguara (concussion) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Deguara remained limited as he recovers from the concussion that he sustained Week 1. It's unclear exactly where he stands in his quest through the protocol for head injuries, but he seems destined to enter the weekend with a questionable designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco. Meanwhile, Dominique Dafney (hip) joined Deguara as a limited participant Thursday, leaving just two healthy tight ends (Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis) on the active roster.

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Deguara (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Deguara missed Monday's win over the Lions after suffering a concussion in the season opener, but his return to practice Wednesday indicates he's progressing in his recovery. The 24-year-old will need to fully clear the concussion protocol to have a chance of suiting up this weekend at San Francisco.

  • Unavailable Monday

    Deguara (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara was considered doubtful for Monday's contest after sitting out practice all week, so it's not a surprise to see him on the inactive list. Dominique Dafney will serve as Green Bay's No. 3 tight end behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis.

  • Listed as doubtful

    Deguara (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Deguara hasn't practiced all week so it would be very surprising to see the 2020 third-round pick available Monday. Any missed time will likely see Dominique Dafney get a larger role along with veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.

  • Misses Friday's practice

    Deguara (concussion) missed practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Deguara was forced to leave the Packers' season opener early with a concussion. The tight end missed practice Thursday and just missed practice Friday, so his status for Monday's game is uncertain as of now. Expect Dominique Dafney to have a larger role against the Lions if Deguara can't play.

    Deguara (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Deguara sustained a concussion in Sunday's season opener against the Saints and was unable to participate in the team's first practice of the week. His status for Monday's game against the Lions will likely come into focus based on whether he's able to return to practice this weekend.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Deguara suffered a concussion and has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: It was a scary scene in Jacksonville as Deguara was down for several minutes while trainers looked at him, but he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power. If the 24-year-old can't return for Week 2 against Detroit, Dominique Dafney may get some extra snaps as Green Bay's no. 3 tight end.

  • Participating in team drills

    Deguara (knee) participated in team drills during Thursday's practice, Marques Eversoll of The Fan 107.5 reports.

    Analysis: Deguara also participated in team drills during joint practices with the Jets last week, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press Gazette, but the second-year tight end didn't suit up for last weekend's preseason game against New York. However, Deguara's continued participation in team drills this week suggests he didn't suffer any sort of setback, so it seems possible he could take the field for the Packers' preseason finale Saturday against the Bills.

  • Comes off PUP list

    The Packers activated Deguara (knee) from the PUP list Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Demovsky noted Deguara has been medically cleared from the torn ACL he suffered Oct. 5 against the Falcons, he likely will be eased into practices. Robert Tonyan is the clear-cut top receiving tight end in Green Bay, and Marcedes Lewis handles key blocking duties. As a result, Deguara, a 2020 third-round pick, may be fighting for not much more than a peripheral role in the Packers offense.

  • Placed on PUP list

    Deguara was placed on the Active/PUP-List Friday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Deguara is returning from an ACL injury that ended his rookie campaign after just two weeks. Prior to the injury, he saw a substantial amount of first-team reps. In his absence, Robert Tonyan proceeded to enjoy a breakout season and will enter 2021as the team's No. 1 tight end. However, Deguara does not project as a traditional tight end, as he is expected to display his versatitlity in the backfield, on the line and even in the slot. Still, it remains to be seen how close…read more

  • Could be ready for camp

    Deguara (knee) may have progressed far enough in his recovery from a torn ACL to participate in the beginning of training camp, Jason Wilde of the Lacrosse Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Deguara handled a substantial amount of first-team reps as a rookie last offseason, but a torn ACL ended his inaugural NFL campaign after just two games. On the bright side, the timing of Deguara's injury should allow him to fully recover by Week 1. Deguara and teammate David Bakhtiari (knee), who is also working his way back from a torn ACL, did rehab work together during OTAs earlier this offseason.

  • Officially placed on IR

    The Packers placed Deguara (torn ACL) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Deguara tore his ACL in Week 4 against the Falcons, and he'll predictably be shut down for the season. The rookie third-rounder caught one pass for 12 yards this year. The Packers have Robert Tonyan, Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis (knee) available to handle reps at tight end moving forward, and Deguara should have enough time to make a full recovery for the 2021 season.

  • Done for season

    Deguara suffered a torn ACL in Monday's win over the Falcons and has been ruled out for the season, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It was Deguara's second career NFL game after being selected in the third round of April's draft, and the rookie hasn't had much of a chance to impact the team's offense. He'll focus on rehabbing to return in 2021 at 100 percent. For the time being, Robert Tonyan will continue to lead the team's tight ends while Jace Sternberger and Marcedes Lewis (knee) rotate in.

    Analysis: Deguara got in two limited practices to close the week, enough for him to be ready to go for Monday's action. With Marcedes Lewis (knee) sidelined, Deguara may see an increased role. However, Regulars will still work behind both Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

    Deguara (shin) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: Deguara logged two straight limited practice sessions to finish off the practice week, so he may gear up for the first time since Week 1. Meanwhile, Marcedes Lewis (knee) is considered doubtful, so Deguara could operate as the No. 3 tight end Monday.

    Analysis: Deguara sat out Thursday's practice but was able to get some work in Friday. His practice capacity Saturday will help reveal the tight end's status for Monday's matchup against the Falcons. Even if he suits up, however, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger figure to handle most of the reps as they did in Week 3.

    Deguara (shin) did not participate during the Packers' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round draft choice has missed each of Green Bay's last two outings after collecting one catch for 12 yards during a Week 1 win against the Vikings. It appeared the rookie was in line for a moderate role prior to the injury, as he saw the field for 31 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps against Minnesota.

    Deguara (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday in New Orleans, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: After opening his career with one catch on a 31-percent offensive snap share Week 1, Deguara will miss his second game in a row due to an ankle injury. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also inactive Sunday, the Packers may use more two-TE sets than normal, setting up Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis and Jace Sternberger for increased usage.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Deguara (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest at New Orleans.

    Analysis: Sidelined Week 2 due to shin and ankle injuries, Deguara made an attempt to practice this week, putting in a limited showing Wednesday. However, he was unable to participate at all Thursday and Friday and seems poised for a second consecutive absence. Look for Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis to split most of the TE reps in Deguara's stead, with Jace Sternberger acting as the third option at the position.

    Deguara (shin/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Deguara missed the Packers' last two practice sessions of the week with his leg injuries, and he will not play Sunday for the same reason. Deguara's absence should open up some snaps for the other three tight ends on the Packers' roster, and possibly some targets for Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger, in particular.

    Deguara (shin/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Deguara began the week as a limited participant, but he's now missed back-to-back sessions and appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Week 2. The rookie tight end was involved on offense during his NFL debut, as he drew two targets. If he misses time, Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger could see slightly more opportunities.

    Analysis: The downgrade in activity level is somewhat concerning, as Deguara was listed as limited with a shin issue Wednesday.

    Deguara was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In his NFL debut Week 1 at Minnesota, Deguara ranked third among Packers tight ends in offensive snaps behind Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis, and ahead of Jace Sternberger. In the process, Deguara hauled in one of two targets for 12 yards. This injury could inhibit him some throughout the week, and Friday's injury report will provide a sense of his ability to play Sunday against the Lions.

    Deguara caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 43-34 victory over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Deguara did not do much in the box score, but the Packers did run a couple plays for the rookie, who was the only Green Bay tight end to catch a pass in Sunday's contest. He finished third in snaps among the Packers' four tight ends Week 1, but don't be surprised to see his role expand in the weeks to come.

    Deguara is listed third, along with Jace Sternberger, on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.

    Analysis: Deguara looks set to begin his career behind both Marcedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan, while mixing in alongside second-year pro Sternberger for work. The rookie third-round pick's versatility and impressive athleticism should make him a candidate to earn a larger role as his development progresses, but he's an unlikely option for fantasy success to kick off the 2020 season.
