As the Green Bay Packers continue their push for a playoff spot, they are facing challenges in the tight end position after rookie starter Luke Musgrave suffered a serious injury. With the need to fill the void left by Musgrave, the Packers are advised to consider adding veteran free agent tight end Dan Arnold.
Arnold, who played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2022 NFL season, is suggested as a potential target by Bleacher Report. Despite modest production last season, Arnold is known for his blocking skills and could provide a valuable veteran presence behind rookie tight end Tucker Kraft.
With only two healthy tight ends on the roster, both of whom are rookies, the Packers could benefit from adding a seasoned player to the position group. Beyond his on-field contributions, Arnold could serve as a mentor for the young tight ends, including the injured Josiah Deguara.
As the Packers face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, the outcome of the game could impact their playoff chances. Adding experienced players like Arnold to support quarterback Jordan Love’s development may prove beneficial for Green Bay’s postseason aspirations. The game against the Chiefs, scheduled for 8:20 p.m. EST on NBC, will be a significant test for the Packers.
