Kraft caught 4 of 6 targets for 48 yards and a TD, finishing as TE6 for the week. He played 59 of 67 snaps and ran 38 routes on Jordan Love’s 47 dropbacks. That full-time role held up even after Kraft briefly left the game with an injury before returning. He was one of five Packers with at least 6 targets in a pass-heavy game plan.

The Packers are placing WR Jayden Reed on IR with the neck injury he suffered in Week 2, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Reed is out indefinitely if not for the season as he continues his recovery," Schefter adds. Reed can be dropped from redraft rosters if he hasn't been already. WR Christian Watson, WR Matthew Golden, and TE Tucker Kraft will continue to dominate targets in Green Bay.

Update: HC Matt LaFleur announced that Reed will undergo season-ending neck surgery.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur conceded Tuesday that WR Jayden Reed's neck injury could cost him the rest of the season. Reed is still undergoing medical tests in Green Bay and has no timetable for return. “It’s way too early for that right now," LaFleur said. "He’s got a lot going on."

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.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft is off the PUP list and will practice on Friday, HC Matt LaFleur said. Kraft missed just a few days of training camp coming off November's ACL and LCL injuries. He's close to nine months removed from surgery and is seemingly on track to play Week 1.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that TE Tucker Kraft (knee) "looks great right now." He's working back from injuries to his ACL, LCL, and meniscus suffered on November 2. "He looks so good that you want to put him out there, but we’re certainly still early in that process," LaFleur added. "Hopefully, he’ll be ready to go by training camp or early in training camp."

Packers beat writer Matt Schneidman relayed the full extent of TE Tucker Kraft’s season-ending knee injury. The 25-year-old suffered a torn ACL, along with a partially torn meniscus and a “damaged” LCL. Kraft expects to start training camp on the PUP list but sounded optimistic about his chance of playing Week 1. “My timeline, I’m not in a race or anything like that. It happened. By the time Week 1 rolls around, I’ll be 10 months post-surgery and hopefully bulletproofed by then,” Kraft said via The Athletic. “I already feel pretty good. My progress so far has been great. Some would say even ahead of schedule. So, not trying to blow anything out of proportion. I’m not even 10 weeks in yet, but it’s feeling good so far. Everything’s going great. I’m in good hands here.” We’ll see where Kraft comes out in 2026 ADP. He finished 2025 as the PPR TE3 in points per game.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft's knee injury "doesn't look good," HC Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's loss to the Panthers. This is a right knee injury for Kraft, who hurt his left knee in practice back in September. Former NFL head team Dr. David Chao believes Kraft has an MCL injury based on the video. That'd be better than an ACL but could still cost Kraft multiple weeks. We should learn more about the injury over the next 24 hours. Luke Musgrave will step in as Green Bay's lead TE for however long Kraft is out and is worth adding in deeper fantasy leagues.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) is officially questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He didn’t practice on Friday after suffering what’s been reported as a minor knee injury on Thursday. HC Matt LaFleur suggested Friday morning that Kraft could be a game-time decision. We’ll keep you updated on his status and get Green Bay’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Kraft’s absence would turn TE Luke Musgrave into a low-level spot starter.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) won't practice on Friday and is uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Browns, HC Matt LaFleur said. "We'll give him up to game time," LaFleur said. "He's got to feel confident and be cleared at the same time." LaFleur also said that he doesn't expect Kraft to be out long-term. We'll see how he's listed on the final Week 3 injury report and look for further updates on his status.

The knee injury Packers TE Tucker Kraft suffered in Thursday's practice is not serious, according to multiple reports. A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Kraft had “a little scare but all good ... I think he will be OK.” NFL Network's Ian Rapoport describes the injury as "just a little knee tweak." It's still unclear if Kraft will be able to play vs. the Browns this weekend, but it sounds like he dodged a long-term absence.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft injured his left knee in Thursday's practice, according to multiple reports. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says, "the belief is it's not a long-term issue." And ESPN's Rob Demovsky: "Kraft is undergoing tests to determine the severity, but the Packers have reason to believe it's not a season-ending type injury." We'll update this story as we learn more. At minimum, Kraft is seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. His absence would leave Luke Musgrave as Green Bay's top TE -- and a potential fantasy option.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft missed practice today with an announced groin injury. The extent of the injury is currently unknown, but it was the first practice he has missed during training camp.

Update: Kraft returned to practice on August 5.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (groin) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited again in Friday's practice, but he'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Coming off back-to-back TE1 finishes, Kraft is a rock-solid fantasy start.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a groin. We don't have any other details on the injury, but Kraft's status for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals is now in question. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a shoulder injury. He was on this week's injury report with a shoulder, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll update Kraft's status when we know more. His absence will mean a boost in snaps for TE Luke Musgrave.

Update: Kraft returned to the game.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Jordan Love's "initial timetable" for return is 3-6 weeks. "And there's some early optimism he could return sooner than later, pending a second opinion," Pelissero adds. Green Bay's bye isn't until Week 10, so that shouldn't factor into Love's return date. It sounds like we should plan on him missing at least the next three games vs. Indianapolis, at Tennessee, and vs. Minnesota. It's worth noting that the Packers medical staff has historically been cautious in bringing players back from injury.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft (back) is listed as questionable for Friday night's game vs. the Eagles. He was added to the injury report on Wednesday and limited again in Thursday's practice. It's a new injury for Kraft, who missed time earlier in the offseason with a pectoral injury. Kraft shouldn't be in your Week 1 fantasy plans, but his absence would mean more playing time for TE Luke Musgrave.
