Packers TE Tucker Kraft tweaked knee during practice, checked out OK

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a left knee injury at Thursday’s practice, but checked out OK with what was described as a little tweak, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported.

He was listed as limited on Thursday’s practice report.

The injury occurred after Packers coach Matt LaFleur spoke to reporters earlier Thursday.

It’s a sigh of relief for a Green Bay team off to a hot start following the preseason acquisition of Micah Parsons, but has dealt with some major injuries to its pass catchers. The Packers lost starting receiver Jayden Reed to a broken collarbone suffered last Thursday night; the third-year pass catcher is expected to miss six to eight games. Wideout Christian Watson is yet to play this year after suffering a torn ACL last season.

Kraft is coming off a career game in Week 2. The third-year tight end caught six passes for 124 yards and an 8-yard touchdown in prime time against the Washington Commanders. Entering Week 3, Kraft is Green Bay’s leading receiver in catches (8), yards (140) and receiving touchdowns (4).

Though Kraft checked out OK, if he’s held out in Week 3 or held back, Green Bay can be expected to lean on Luke Musgrave at tight end and its deep bench of receivers. Musgrave has three receptions on 36 yards through two weeks. The only other TE to record a reception is John FitzPatrick (one catch, 2 yards). The Packers also employ Ben Sims at the position.

Green Bay (2-0) will face the Browns (0-2) in Cleveland on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
