Week 3 NFL Injury Update: Packers List Tucker Kraft as Questionable as 49ers Call Brock Purdy Unlikely to Start

Coaches are keeping decisions close to kickoff to protect players for the longer haul.

Overview

  • Green Bay ruled out wide receiver Jayden Reed and listed tight end Tucker Kraft as questionable after a Thursday knee tweak, with Matt LaFleur saying the issue is a minor “little tweak” and a game-time decision.
  • Kraft did not practice Friday and is not expected to need injured reserve; right tackle Zach Tom is also questionable, putting more on Luke Musgrave if Kraft cannot go.
  • Kyle Shanahan said it is highly unlikely Brock Purdy starts in Week 3 despite limited practices, and both Purdy and wideout Jauan Jennings are questionable with Jennings managing ankle and shoulder injuries.
  • Baltimore opened its week missing three defensive starters at Thursday’s practice — Kyle Van Noy, Nnamdi Madubuike and Nate Wiggins — though John Harbaugh indicated Wiggins is fine after last week’s scare.
  • New Orleans’ first Week 3 report listed five players, including DNPs for Taliese Fuaga, Dillon Radunz and Chase Young, as national rundowns also confirmed Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is out.
