Packers TE Tucker Kraft should be ‘OK’ after injury scare, source says


GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers standout tight end Tucker Kraft, who sustained a knee injury during practice Thursday, got “a little scare but all good,” a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter after tests Thursday.

“I think he will be OK,” another source said of Kraft, who was added to the injury report after Thursday’s practice, three days before Green Bay’s game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The Packers don’t believe he’s going to sit out any time, but they also want to see how the knee responds Friday, the source said.

The injury came after the Packers lost receiver Jayden Reed to a broken collarbone in last week’s game against the Washington Commanders. Reed, who also underwent foot surgery, is expected to be put on injured reserve but could return late in the season.

Throw in the fact that they have been without receiver Christian Watson, who is on the physically unable to perform list while he continues his recovery from ACL surgery in January, and quarterback Jordan Love could be missing three of his top targets.

Through two games, Kraft leads the Packers with eight catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns. He’s coming off his first career 100-yard game in a Sept. 11 win over the Commanders.

If Kraft can’t play Sunday against the Browns, it will be the first time he has missed a game since he entered the NFL as a third-round pick in 2023. The Packers play the Cowboys in Week 4 and then have their bye week.
