  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Gains 37 yards on six targets

    Kraft had three receptions on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over Kansas City.

    Kraft's six targets were good enough to finish second for Green Bay on Sunday, and his 37 receiving yards set a new season high through 12 weeks. The 23-year-old had a potential touchdown vultured when fellow rookie tight end Ben Sims scored on his only catch of one yard. Kraft will continue to start for the Packers next Monday against the Giants while starter Luke Musgrave (abdomen) mends on injured reserve for at least two more games.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Tallies first career touchdown

    Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.

    Kraft nearly picked up his first career touchdown in Green Bay's Week 11 victory over the Chargers, but he broke through Thursday, finding the end zone shortly before the first quarter came to a close. The 23-year-old has filled a complementary role for most of his rookie season, but his snaps have steadily increased, and with fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out in Week 12, Kraft started and was on the field for all but a couple plays. Musgrave will miss at least three more games after landing on injured reserve, so Kraft will presumably continue occupying a starting spot. The upcoming matchups aren't great, but Kraft will at least have opportunity on his side, and quarterback Jordan Love is heating up.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Team's top TE with Musgrave on IR

    Kraft is set to take over as Green Bay's top tight end beginning with Thursday's game against Detroit after Luke Musgrave (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

    Kraft was selected 78th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, 36 picks after Musgrave. While Musgrave has played a much larger role up to this point in their respective rookie seasons, Kraft's usage in Green Bay's inexperienced tight end room has been growing. Kraft has played at least 28 snaps in each of the last three games and had a career-high 32 receiving yards in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. With Musgrave out, the team's options behind Kraft are Josiah Deguara (hip) and Ben Sims.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Records career-best 32 yards

    Kraft caught both his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.

    Kraft did not spend quite as much time on the field as he did in Week 10, but he tied his career high for receptions, set a new career best in the yardage department and was a toe on the chalk away from a long touchdown that would have been the first score of his career. Expect him to continue working as Green Bay's No. 2 tight end behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave when the Packers face the Lions on Thanksgiving.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Draws three targets in defeat

    Kraft was targeted three times and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Kraft did not make much of a splash in the box score, but he did see more passes in his direction than he totaled over his first eight appearances of the season and played more than 50 percent of the snaps for the first time as a professional. The rookie has solidified his hold on the backup tight end job behind fellow first-year player Luke Musgrave, but that role isn't likely to provide much fantasy appeal.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Tallies first career receptions

    Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for five yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.

    Kraft went catchless over the first three games of his rookie season, but he recorded the first two receptions of his career in Week 4. He could see more opportunities in Week 5 if Luke Musgrave (head) is unable to go, but with the Packers going from a Thursday game to a Monday contest, Musgrave will have more time to recover than usual.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Takes field Friday

    Kraft (knee) was targeted three times and caught one pass for four yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.

    Kraft injured his knee in practice last week, but that did not prevent him from seeing action in Green Bay's first exhibition game. Kraft entered the game in the third spot on the depth chart on Green Bay's official website, but with fellow tight end Tyler Davis going down with a knee injury that could cost him significant time, Kraft is set to move up to the second spot behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave.

  • Packers' Tucker Kraft: Injured during practice

    Kraft left practice early Saturday after sustaining a knee injury, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Kraft's injury doesn't sound serious, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, but he added that he didn't have any information. The 22-year-old is competing with fellow rookie Luke Musgrave and fourth-year pro Josiah Deguara for starting duties at tight end. Kraft now will work to get healthy and perhaps return to practice in future days.
