Packers confirm suspicion about Tucker Kraft’s injury, leaving fans anxious ahead of matchup with Browns
Green Bay will give him a chance.
As expected, the Green Bay Packers will give Tucker Kraft the extra two days to see if the star tight end will be able to play on Sunday. On the final injury report ahead of the Cleveland Browns game, Kraft is officially listed as questionable to play after not practicing on Friday.
Knee tweak
Tucker Kraft suffered a knee injury during Thursday’s practice and was immediately listed as limited. Despite the initial scare, the tests came back clean, showing just a tweak and no structural damage. By that point, it was just a matter of pain tolerance and how the rising offensive star would feel during Friday’s practice.
As expected, wide receiver Jayden Reed was ruled out with his shoulder injury. The Packers haven’t placed him on injured reserve yet, but he is expected to miss between six and eight weeks of action after he broke his collarbone during the Washington Commanders game in Week 2.
Offensive line and other notes
Left guard Aaron Banks said earlier this week he will play, despite the groin injury that limited him at practice this week and made him miss the Commanders game. And now it’s confirmed, since he’s off the injury report and good to go.
However, right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) was still limited at practice and is questionable to play.
Safety Zayne Anderson (knee), cornerback Nate Hobbs (knee), running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), quarterback Jordan Love (left thumb), and cornerback Bo Melton (shoulder) are all off the injury report and will play.
Other side
The Cleveland Browns also have their fair share of problems for Sunday. Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. has been ruled out with a knee injury, while left guard Joel Bitonio is questionable with a back issue. Right tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) and wide receiver/return specialist DeAndre Carter (concussion) are also questionable.
Kicker Andre Szmyt was added to the injury report with a left calf injury and is also questionable, which could force the Browns to add a last-minute kicker ahead of the game.
