Tucker Kraft - Page 11 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to play Coach Matt LaFleur expects Kraft (groin) to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports.

Impact Kraft was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, right around the same time LaFleur told reporters that TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) likely would be placed on injured reserve. Kraft had already pulled ahead of Musgrave and then put up big fantasy scores both of the past two weeks, and it seems the groin injury won't stop Kraft from making another start this Sunday against Arizona.

Tucker Kraft's standard has spurred his breakout Packers counting on second-year tight end even more after Luke Musgrave’s injury

Dealing with groin injury Kraft was limited at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Earlier Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Luke Musgrave "more than likely" was destined for an IR stint, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Upon the release of their second Week 6 practice report, though, Kraft was a midweek addition with a health concern of his own. As a result, Friday's report likely will be key for Kraft's status ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Pair of touchdowns in win Kraft recorded four receptions on five targets for 88 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams.

Impact Kraft was the catalyst of Green Bay's victory, as he scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions to open the second half. The first came on a long run catch and run down the left sideline that went for a 66-yard score. He followed that up with a trip to end zone from seven yards away on a screen pass. Kraft has become an integral part of the Green Bay offense, combining to command 14 targets while tallying 10 receptions for 141 yards and three touchdowns across the last two weeks.

Touchdown catch in Week 4 loss Kraft secured six of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown and also lost a fumble in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pas...

Impact Kraft finished with the second-most catches on the afternoon for the Packers and established new season highs across his receiving line. Kraft recorded his first touchdown of the season on a 13-yard grab in the fourth quarter, a play he followed up with a two-point conversion grab that brought Green Bay within six points. However, Kraft's subsequent fumble at his own 44-yard line with 4:27 remaining was costly, as his team was nine points down at the time. Kraft's increase in involvement was encouraging, however, and he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Rams on the road in Week 5.

Officially full Thursday Kraft (shoulder) officially practiced fully Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Bill Huber of SI.com reported earlier Thursday that Kraft went down as a limited participant for a second consecutive day to begin Week 4 prep, but the second-year tight end actually didn't operate with a cap on his reps. Kraft thus is a bit healthier than fellow position mate Luke Musgrave (quadriceps), who was limited both Wednesday and Thursday. If Musgrave is at all hindered Sunday against the Vikings, Kraft could experience a slight uptick in snap share to the 66 percent or more that he's handled through the first three games of the campaign.

Stays limited in practice Kraft (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Kraft briefly exited last week's win over the Titans on account of the shoulder issue that had bothered him heading into the game, but his ability to open Week 4 prep with a pair of limited practices rather than sitting out either or both sessions entirely suggests he's trending toward being available this Sunday versus the Vikings. In order to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend, however, Kraft may need to upgrade to full participation during Friday's practice. Kraft has outpaced fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (quadricep) in playing time in each of Green Bay's first three games, logging at least two-thirds of the snaps on offense while turning in a collective 6-77-0 receiving line on eight targets.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to start week Kraft (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Like he was last week, Kraft is working with a red non-contact jersey in practice this week due to a shoulder issue, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft handled a 67 percent snap share this past Sunday at Tennessee, and he finished a third straight game to begin the campaign with exactly two catches. Assuming he emerges with no designation upon the release of Friday's injury report, he'll again be in line to earn a majority share of Green Bay's TE reps Sunday against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies two more receptions Kraft was targeted three times and caught two passes for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.

Impact Kraft briefly left Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury, but he was able to return and finish the game. Kraft was limited at all three practice sessions last week with the same injury, and he could be again in the days ahead. However, he was not listed on the final injury report for Week 3, and there has not yet been any indication that his Week 4 availability is up in the air.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Sunday's game Kraft (shoulder) returned to Sunday's contest in Tennessee, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact After making a brief exit in the second half of Sunday's game, Kraft returned to the field and almost immediately tacked on his second catch of Week 3. He should continue to garner most of the TE reps for Green Bay, though Luke Musgrave and Ben Sims also are on hand in the even Kraft needs another breather.

Injures shoulder in Week 3 Kraft hurt his shoulder during Sunday's contest at Tennessee.

Impact Prior to departing in the third quarter, Kraft had one catch (on one target) for 21 yards. In Kraft's place, Luke Musgrave likely will handle most of the TE reps the rest of the way, while Ben Sims also is on hand at the position.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared despite limited practices Kraft (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kraft was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices during the week, but he did enough to avoid an injury designation and plans to suit up Sunday. He has worked ahead of fellow second-year pro Will Musgrave thus far in 2023, and while Green Bay hasn't utilized the tight end position much in the passing game, Kraft's ceiling would get a substantial boost if starting quarterback Jordan Love (knee; questionable) gains clearance to return after missing the previous game.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • PACKERS.COM

Remains limited Thursday Kraft (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact Kraft has mustered some on-field work in both sessions so far during Week 3 prep due to a shoulder injury, and he even donned a red non-contact jersey Thursday. Afterward, he told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site, "Every morning, I wake up feeling even better. ... It'll be good." Kraft seems confident that he'll be available Sunday at Tennessee, but Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder issue Kraft was limited in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Both Kraft and Luke Musgrave have been co-starters through two games to begin the season, but the former has easily out-snapped the latter so far. Kraft even led all skill-position players not named QB Malik Willis in snap share (80 percent) this past Sunday versus the Colts, but a ground-based game plan didn't result in much production (two catches for 16 yards on two targets). With a health concern now attached to him, Kraft's activity level will be one to watch to see if he may enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Tennessee.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes two catches in Week 2 Kraft caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts.

Impact The Packers went run-heavy with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center, rushing 53 times while Willis recorded just 14 passes. The results were meager receiving lines across the board aside from WRs Romeo Doubs (3-62-0 on three targets) and Dontayvion Wicks (3-26-1 on four targets), though Kraft again outproduced fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave (1-6-0 on one target). Kraft and Musgrave both were in the starting lineup for a second game in a row to begin the season, but the former seemingly has the upper hand in terms of receiving potential -- albeit how little either player may have with Willis leading Green Bay's offense -- heading into a Week 3 road matchup with the Titans next Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets majority of TE snaps Week 1 Kraft caught two of three targets for 37 yards in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Per Mike Clay of ESPN.com, Kraft ran 25 routes in the contest and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave -- who didn't catch either of his two targets -- ran only eight, while Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com reports that Kraft out-snapped Musgrave on offense 55 to 15. That is made even more significant by the fact that Kraft had been listed as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. It's probably too early to assume that the discrepancy in snaps will be this wide moving forward, but at least after Week 1, it appears that Kraft has a leg up on the No. 1 tight end role for the Packers.
