Packers TE Tucker Kraft tweaked knee, questionable for Week 3 vs Browns

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft tweaked his knee in practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, a development that could further thin an offense already missing key targets.

Kraft, a third-year player out of South Dakota State, is among Green Bay's top receiving threats. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reported Kraft's knee injury was a minor tweak and that he could still play in Week 3 against Cleveland. Kraft ranks third in the NFL in receiving yards among tight ends, just one yard behind second-place Brock Bowers. He has two receiving touchdowns, tied for fifth among all players and tied for the most among tight ends with Zach Ertz of the Washington Commanders and Davis Allen of the Los Angeles Rams. Last season, Kraft was second on the Packers in receiving yards as he became a favorite target of quarterback Jordan Love.

However Kraft's injury comes as Green Bay copes with broader issues at wide receiver. Top targets Christian Watson and Jayden Reed are sidelined for extended periods. Watson has been out since a season-ending knee injury sustained in the final game of 2024 and has not returned. Reed suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot, then a fractured collarbone against Washington, and underwent surgery this week; head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects him to miss a lot of time.

The Packers travel to Cleveland for Week 3.
