The Green Bay Packers are facing off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Going into the game, the Packers had a 5-1-1 record and are on a three-game winning streak.

Going into halftime, though, Green Bay was down 7-6 at home. To make matters worse, tight end Tucker Kraft went down with an injury in the Packers' first drive of the third quarter. It came on a 15-yard run from running back Josh Jacobs.

According to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, Kraft was carted to the locker room after spending time in the medical tent.

After making it to the locker room, the Packers announced that the third-year tight end is questionable to return with a knee injury.

"TE Tucker Kraft is questionable to return with a knee injury," the Packers wrote via an X post.

In Green Bay's Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kraft had the best game of his career. He was targeted nine times, hauling in seven receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Through the first seven games of the season, he'd established himself as a top target for quarterback Jordan Love. Through Week 8, he had the second-most targets (41), most receptions (30), most yards (469) and most touchdowns (six) on the Packers.

Before getting hurt against the Panthers, he'd been relatively shut down with just two receptions for 20 yards.
