Overview

  • The tight end injured his left knee during Thursday's practice and was added to Green Bay's Week 3 injury report as a limited participant.
  • NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and other reporters said the injury is not considered long term, describing it as a "little tweak" that "checked out OK."
  • His availability for Sunday at Cleveland remains undecided, with a final designation due on Friday and a decision possible up to 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • If he sits, Luke Musgrave is expected to handle a larger share of snaps at tight end, with John FitzPatrick and Ben Sims providing depth.
  • Kraft is coming off a breakout Week 2 performance (six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown) and leads the Packers through two games with eight receptions for 140 yards and two scores as the team also navigates injuries to Jayden Reed and Christian Watson.
