Packers' Tucker Kraft: Expects to be on snap count early in season
Kraft said Sunday that he expects the Packers to limit his reps "probably until halfway through the season," Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Kraft has been trending toward returning Week 1 following a season-ending torn ACL suffered during Week 9 of the 2025 campaign, and he also returned to 11-on-11 drills for the first time Sunday. The fourth-year tight end added that he's hoping not to be on a rep count for the regular-season opener, per Demovsky, so it'll be worth monitoring his status leading into that game versus the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13. Kraft played at least 88 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps in each of their first seven games before going down last year. He finished with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns over eight contests in 2025. Kraft also was asked whether he expects a new contract by Week 1, saying "that's the goal," according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Cleared for 11-on-11 drills
Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that Kraft (knee) will participate in 11-on-11 team drills during Sunday's training camp practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft opened training camp on the active/PUP list but has slowly increased his workload over the course of the last couple of weeks. His clearance to work in team drills is another positive step in his recovery from a torn ACL that he sustained in Week 9 of the 2025 season. Kraft is unlikely to play in either of the Packers' last two preseason games but appears to be on track to suit up Week 1 against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Trending toward active status Week 1
Kraft (knee) appears on track to be available for the Packers' Week 1 matchup with the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kraft spent the first two days of training camp on the active/PUP list, but he's been active on the field for most practices since then, including Monday's session when he was seen running routes on air while catching passes from QB Jordan Love without a sleeve on his right knee. Said knee endured a torn ACL in Week 9 of last season, but considering Kraft's slow build-up to date in camp, Rapoport's report lines up with an appearance for the tight end in the regular-season opener. Another question surrounding Kraft is whether or not he and the Packers are able to agree to terms on a contract extension.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Runs routes in full pads
Kraft (knee) ran routes on air in full pads while catching passes from QB Jordan Love at Monday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Most notably for Kraft, he wasn't wearing the sleeve he'd been wearing on his right knee from the first nearly two weeks of training camp. He suffered an ACL tear in that knee Week 9 of last season, and while he sat out Friday's Family Night practice, he was back on the field as of Monday and continues to increase his reps as a Week 1 matchup at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13 draws closer. It doesn't appear likely Kraft will play during the preseason, and the question remains whether or not he and the Packers will agree to a contract extension.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Logs first practice since ACL tear
Kraft (knee), who was activated from the active/PUP list Friday, took part in individual drills at his first practice of Packers training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft is two days shy of being nine months removed from the right ACL tear that he suffered Week 9 of last season. Among his activities Friday were hitting a blocking pad, catching passes on the side and running some routes on air. Kraft relayed that before the session he convened with doctors from the University of Wisconsin, one of whom told him his knee appears "spectacular, almost like he had never seen rehabilitation like mine." During mandatory minicamp in June, Kraft stated his intention to play Week 1 at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13, but first, his focus will be on increasing his activity level while he and his reps engage Green Bay brass on a potential contract extension.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Brought off PUP list
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Kraft (ACL) is being brought off the active/PUP list and will practice in some capacity, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft continues to make encouraging recovery from his right ACL tear, with the tight end's goal still being to suit up Week 1. Green Bay and Kraft are also engaged in ongoing contract negotiations, with optimism that a deal could be reached before the start of the regular season. Kraft is not yet ready to participate in team drills, per Bill Huber of SI.com, but he will take part in individual drills and team walkthroughs. Once back to full health, Kraft projects as an integral component of the Packers offense in 2026.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Week 1 remains in play
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday it's "very much a possibility" that Kraft (ACL), who began training camp on the active/PUP list, will be ready to play Week 1, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Gutekunst said he expects Kraft to come off the PUP list "sooner than later" during camp, and that Green Bay considers it in the team's best interest to ink the standout tight end to an extension before the start of the regular season, per Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Still, Gutekunst affirmed that Green Bay will be "cautious" with Kraft until the nine-month mark, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com, with the tight end currently roughly 8.5 months into his recovery.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Lands on PUP list
The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft's placement on the PUP list is no surprise, as the expectation has been that the tight end would begin camp on said list despite his own stated belief of being on track for Week 1. Once Kraft is cleared for on-field activities, Green Bay will be able to activate him at any point in training camp or the preseason. Kraft said in late July that he expects to be a full-go for Week 1, and he remains a candidate for a potential extension with Green Bay before the start of the regular season. Head coach Matt LaFleur said back in May that the hope is for Kraft to get back on the practice field during the early stages of training camp.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: May start camp on PUP list
Kraft (ACL) is likely to begin the first practice of training camp on July 29 on the active/PUP list, though the tight end expects to be a full-go for Week 1, Jason Wilde of Channel 3000 reports.
Kraft is still seemingly ahead of schedule in his rehab process, as Packers GM Brian Guteknust previously stated in May. Even if the tight end's recovery from a right ACL tear causes him to kick off training camp on the PUP list, it's possible he could be given the go-ahead to retake the practice field shortly thereafter. As Wilde reports, though, Kraft could desire a new extension before putting on the pads again. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that the Packers still hope to ink Kraft to a new long-term deal, as he's currently heading into the final year of his rookie contract. Green Bay has a history of exercising caution with player recoveries, especially from injuries such as ACL tears, but Kraft, Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have all offered optimism about the No. 1 tight end's progress.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Expects to play Week 1
Kraft (knee) said Wednesday that he expects to play Week 1 without any playing-time restrictions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Coming back from last year's ACL tear, Kraft is absent from OTA practices but hopes to participate in training camp. Packers coach Matt LaFleur also said he hopes to have the tight end on the field during the early portion of training camp, and Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Kraft is ahead of schedule in his rehab process. While the Packers have a well-earned reputation for caution with injured players, it sounds like all parties are on board for Kraft making a run at gaining clearance for Week 1.
