Tucker Kraft is back at practice for the first time since tearing his ACL last November, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The knee injury cut short a breakout third season.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: ACL Recovery Meets Big Upside
Kraft’s production in the first eight games of the 2025 campaign had him among the league’s best at the position. On a per-game basis, only Trey McBride, George Kittle, and Brock Bowers scored more fantasy points than Kraft did.
He wasn’t just a product of the offense. Kraft led all tight ends in yards per team pass attempt with 2.13. His 2.20 yards per route run also led the position among players who ran at least 200 routes.
Kraft’s third-year breakout was a dominant one. If he can return to the condition he was in 10 months ago, which many reports have him trending that way, his fourth season will be too.
After the most recent practice, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated said Kraft is “looking better and better every day.”
