Packers' Tucker Kraft Reportedly 'Checked Out OK' After Knee Injury at Practice

A key member of the Green Bay Packers' offense is dealing with an injury.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a knee injury at practice on Thursday. Rapoport added that Kraft will receive a further evaluation, but it is not believed to be a "long-term" injury.

Rapoport later added that Kraft "suffered just a little knee tweak, source says, a little scare" and that he "checked out OK."

ESPN's Rob Demovsky added that Kraft's injury is not expected to be "a season-ending type injury."

Kraft was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's injury report, per The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.

Kraft is coming off a breakout game against the Washington Commanders in which he recorded 124 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven receptions. Through two games, he has eight receptions for 140 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Kraft, a third-round pick out of South Dakota State in 2023, had a strong second season in 2024, logging 707 yards and seven touchdowns.

Though it appears the injury won't sideline Kraft for too long, his status going into Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns is in question. Friday's injury report should offer more clarity as to whether he'll be ready to go.

Before Kraft's injury, the Packers were already dealing with some ailments to their pass catchers. Wide receiver Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone last Thursday and is expected to miss up to eight games. Reed, a former second-round pick, was the Packers' leading receiver a year ago, recording 857 yards and six touchdowns.

"It's a big blow to us," Packers head coach Matt LeFleur said of Reed's injury. "He's a guy that's a catalyst to our offense and the football team."

Receiver Christian Watson will also be on the physically unable to perform list for at least two more weeks as he works his way back from a torn ACL.

Luckily for Green Bay, it can continue to rely on a strong defense that gave up only 18 points against the Commanders and just 13 points to the Detroit Lions in Week 1.
