Packers List Tucker Kraft as Questionable After Knee Injury, Plan Game-Time Decision

Green Bay views the tight end’s knee issue as short term with his availability hinging on how it responds before kickoff.

Overview

  • Tucker Kraft tweaked his left knee in Thursday’s practice, and multiple reports plus coach Matt LaFleur indicate the injury is not expected to be long term.
  • Kraft did not practice Friday and was listed as questionable on the final Week 3 report for Sunday in Cleveland, with LaFleur saying the call could come at game time.
  • The third-year tight end leads Green Bay with eight catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns, highlighted by a 124-yard, one-TD performance in Week 2.
  • Green Bay’s pass-catching depth is already thinned with Jayden Reed ruled out after foot and collarbone surgeries and Christian Watson on the PUP list.
  • If Kraft cannot go, Luke Musgrave is in line for an expanded role, with John FitzPatrick and Ben Sims expected to factor into the tight end rotation.
