UPDATE Nov. 3rd: Tests have confirmed that Tucker Kraft suffered a torn ACL in the Week 9 Packers loss and he will miss the remainder of the season. This puts a sour ending to the season of one of the breakout star tight ends, who will finish his third NFL season with 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns across eight games.
This is a brutal break for the Packers’ passing attack and Kraft will leave some big shoes to fill. Luke Musgrave will move up to TE1 on the depth chart unless Green Bay elects to address the position before the trade deadline passes.
UPDATE: Tucker Kraft has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with his knee injury. The injury issues have only gotten more prominent for the Packers with Matthew Golden also ruled out for the game due to a shoulder injury and Christian Waston also missing some time due to a head injury in the matchup.
Kraft’s status will be one to monitor throughout the week with no official injury diagnoses yet made public for the Packers tight end.
Tucker Kraft has left today’s Packers vs. Panthers game with a knee injury. The emerging star tight end came across on a running play to make a block and seemed to have his knee hyperextended from a falling defender and blocker in front of him. Kraft immediately fell to the ground grabbing his knee and was attended to by trainers. He is officially listed as questionable to return.
Kraft required some help walking off the field and has since been carted to the locker room.
Kraft had pulled in two of his three targets for 20 receiving yards before the injury. This also comes one week after Kraft really announced himself to the NFL audience with a breakout game. During the victory over the Steelers, Kraft pulled in seven receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns.
