Packers’ Tucker Kraft Carted Off With Knee Injury as Team Fears ACL Tear

Matt LaFleur said the outlook “does not look good,” with imaging to determine the severity.

Overview

  • Kraft injured his right knee in the third quarter on a blocking collision, was evaluated in the blue tent, and was carted to the locker room after being listed questionable to return.
  • Multiple reports say the Packers fear a torn ACL, though the diagnosis remains unconfirmed pending an MRI and further testing scheduled for Monday.
  • LaFleur offered a pessimistic postgame assessment and declined specifics, underscoring the uncertainty surrounding the tight end’s timetable.
  • Green Bay lost 16-13 to Carolina on a last-second field goal; Kraft had two catches for 20 yards before exiting and leads the Packers this season with 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns.
  • If Kraft misses time, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick are expected to handle tight end duties, and the depth chart was further strained when rookie receiver Matthew Golden left with a shoulder injury ahead of next Monday’s game against the Eagles.
