Packers-Browns Inactives: Huge Updates for Tucker Kraft, Zach Tom

The Green Bay Packers will have two of their top players on the field for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, with tight end Tucker Kraft and right tackle Zach Tom active.

Meanwhile, for the Browns, perennial Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio (back) will play but former All-Pro right right tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) is out. Cornelius Lucas, who has allowed a lot of pressure in about one-and-a-half games, will replace Conklin.

The Packers listed only three players on their final injury report.

Active: RT Zach Tom (oblique) was listed as questionable on Friday. Tom was injured while trying to avoid quarterback Jordan Love, who was shoved to the turf after a nullified interception in Week 1 against Detroit. Tom didn’t play against the Commanders last week and was limited participation at practice all week.

Active: TE Tucker Kraft (knee) also was questionable. Kraft suffered a knee injury on Thursday, which meant a brief scare. Turns out, it was just a tweak. While he didn’t practice on Friday, he was pulling a heavy sled while everyone else was getting warmed up. Kraft chatted with coach Matt LaFleur and must have said all the right things.

Out: WR Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) was ruled out on Friday. The Packers placed Reed on injured reserve on Saturday. Not surprisingly, they didn’t fill the roster spot. Surprisingly, they didn’t elevate anyone from the practice squad.

With Reed and defensive end Brenton Cox on injured reserve but not replaced on the 53, the Packers have only a 51-man roster. With no elevations, they have a short inactives list.
