Packers' Tucker Kraft: Four catches against Lions
Tucker Kraft recorded four receptions on six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added one carry for two yards.Kraft tied for second on the team with six targets, his highest mark since Week 4. Rainy weather affected Jordan Love's accuracy and willingness to push the ball down the field, so Kraft's yardage total was modest despite his increased role, as his longest catch went for just 13 yards. Even so, Kraft's involvement was a positive on a down day for Green Bay's offense overall.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Limited Wednesday
Tucker Kraft (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.Kraft now has operated with a cap on his reps for three straight practices going back to last week, but the groin injury didn't affect his availability for this past Sunday's game against the Cardinals, when he handled a typical 81 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards. With Luke Musgrave (ankle) on injured reserve for the foreseeable future, Kraft shouldn't have any difficulty dominating the tight end reps for the Green Bay Packers moving forward, but Ben Sims, John FitzPatrick and practice-squad member Andrew Beck are the candidates for work at the position.
