Oregon State tight end Luke Musgrave is experienced a familiar uphill battle ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft. One of the top players at his position, a season-ending surgery led to the standout pass-catcher only playing two games for the Beavers in 2022. Musgrave was then cleared to participate and play in the Senior Bowl in Mobile last month but with him taking a similar hit to what caused his initial injury during the game, there was concern about his future health status.
Fortunately, Musgrave has received full medical clearance on his knee in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
Musgrave played in the Senior Bowl last month and will participate in Oregon State's Pro Day, which will take place later this month.
