Packers' Tucker Kraft: Out for season with ACL tear
Tucker Kraft is slated to miss the remainder of the season after tests on his right knee confirmed that he suffered an ACL tear during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Coming off a career-best performance in the Green Bay Packers' Week 8 win over the Steelers in which he registered seven catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets, Kraft's breakthrough third season has now come to a screeching halt. The Packers haven't revealed whether the tight end sustained any additional ligament damage beyond the ACL tear, but more information should be known once he undergoes surgery in the coming days or weeks. With Kraft bound for injured reserve, the Packers are expected to turn to Luke Musgrave as their top pass-catching option at tight end for the remainder of the season, while blocking specialist John FitzPatrick could also be in line for extra snaps.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Knee injury 'does not look good'
Coach Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers that Tucker Kraft's knee injury "does not look good," Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.Kraft exited in the third quarter after his right knee was rolled up on by a Green Bay Packers teammate during a 15-yard Josh Jacobs carry. The tight end initially was deemed questionable to return but was ruled out in the fourth quarter. LaFleur also told Demovsky that "it's going to be tough" to replace Kraft, but he specifically touched on fellow TE Luke Musgrave, saying he's "played a ton of football for us." Musgrave and John FitzPatrick are the current healthy TEs on Green Bay's active roster, and if Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report that the team fears that Kraft suffered a torn ACL proves to be accurate, that duo will be tasked with filling the void for the rest of the campaign.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Ready to rock
Tucker Kraft (knee/elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.He tweaked his knee during practice last Thursday but ended up playing 88 percent of snaps in a 13-10 loss to the Browns. With no injury designation this time around, Kraft figures to continue in his near-every-down role. His per-target efficiency is elite by TE standards for a second straight year, but it still seems difficult for any one Green Bay pass catcher to average more than 5-to-6 looks per game.
