The Green Bay Packers got an injury scare on Thursday when budding star tight end Tucker Kraft reportedly tweaked his knee during practice.

Kraft is coming off a spectacular performance in the win against the Washington Commanders in Week 2, as he recorded a career-high 124 receiving yards to go with a touchdown on six receptions and seven targets.

Although Kraft reportedly did not suffer anything serious with the said injury, his status for Sunday against the Cleveland Browns on the road is in some doubt.

If Kraft gets ultimately ruled out for the Browns game, which is also Green Bay’s first in the 2025 NFL regular season away from Lambeau Field, Luke Musgrave can be expected to have an expanded role on offense for the Jordan Love-led passing attack.

Jason Vrable on Luke Musgrave in camp and the season, if he takes on a bigger role because of Tucker Kraft’s injury:

“This is the best I’ve seen him since he’s been in the building.”

Musgrave has received just minimal attention downfield this season, with only three catches on three targets for 36 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. Nevertheless, Green Bay seems to trust him to deliver when needed.
