Packers TE Tucker Kraft Expected to Play vs. Browns After Knee Scare

He remains questionable on the injury report, with Matt LaFleur calling the issue a minor tweak.

Overview

  • Kraft injured his left knee during Thursday’s practice and did not participate on Friday.
  • Multiple Saturday reports, including NFL Media/Tom Pelissero, indicate he is expected to suit up against Cleveland despite the questionable tag.
  • LaFleur said the injury is a “little tweak” and indicated an injured reserve stint is unlikely.
  • The tight end is coming off a career-best performance with six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown in Week 2.
  • His availability is significant for Green Bay’s passing game with wide receiver Jayden Reed on injured reserve, with final status to be confirmed on Sunday’s inactives list.
