The Green Bay Packers have a lot of offensive weapons.
But they’ll be missing one key guy, Tucker Kraft, for the foreseeable future.
Kraft was putting together a phenomenal season. Through eight games, he had 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns.
The talented tight end was on pace to shatter his career highs in all three of those categories.
Instead, the Packers are relying on backups Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick to get the job done at TE instead.
Why isn’t Tucker Kraft playing tonight?
Tucker Kraft isn’t playing on Monday night against the Eagles, or the rest of the season, due to injury.
Kraft tore his ACL on Nov. 3, ending his 2025 campaign.
He wrote a message on Instagram the day after his injury, using a Bible verse, Isaiah 40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Kraft was hurt in the third quarter of that Week 9 game against the Panthers. He was blocking but got caught from behind while his right foot was planted.
The Packers will hope Kraft can be ready close to the start of next season.
