Packers' Tucker Kraft: Remains limited Thursday
Tucker Kraft (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.Kraft has mustered some on-field work in both sessions so far during Week 3 prep due to a shoulder injury, and he even donned a red non-contact jersey Thursday. Afterward, he told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site, "Every morning, I wake up feeling even better. ... It'll be good." Kraft seems confident that he'll be available Sunday at Tennessee, but Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Dealing with shoulder issue
Tucker Kraft was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.Both Kraft and Luke Musgrave have been co-starters through two games to begin the season, but the former has easily out-snapped the latter so far. Kraft even led all skill-position players not named quarterback Malik Willis in snap share (80 percent) this past Sunday versus the Colts, but a ground-based game plan didn't result in much production (two catches for 16 yards on two targets). With a health concern now attached to him, Kraft's activity level will be one to watch to see if he may enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Tennessee.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Makes two catches in Week 2
Tucker Kraft caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts.The Green Bay Packers went run-heavy with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center, rushing 53 times while Willis recorded just 14 passes. The results were meager receiving lines across the board aside from WRs Romeo Doubs (3-62-0 on three targets) and Dontayvion Wicks (3-26-1 on four targets), though Kraft again outproduced fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave (1-6-0 on one target). Kraft and Musgrave both were in the starting lineup for a second game in a row to begin the season, but the former seemingly has the upper hand in terms of receiving potential -- albeit how little either player may have with Willis leading Green Bay's offense -- heading into a Week 3 road matchup with the Titans next Sunday.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Gets majority of TE snaps Week 1
Tucker Kraft caught two of three targets for 37 yards in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Eagles.Per Mike Clay of ESPN.com, Kraft ran 25 routes in the contest, and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave -- who didn't catch either of his two targets -- ran only eight, while Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com reports that Kraft out-snapped Musgrave on offense, 55-15. That is made even more significant by the fact that Kraft had been listed as questionable for the contest due to a back issue. It's probably too early to assume that the discrepancy in snaps will be this wide moving forward, but at least after Week 1, it appears that Kraft has a leg up on the No. 1 tight end role for the Green Bay Packers.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Active in Week 1
Tucker Kraft (back) is listed as active Friday versus the Eagles in Brazil, Mike Spofford of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Kraft made a midweek appearance on the Packers' estimated injury report Wednesday as limited due to a back issue, and he remained that way at Thursday's practice before the team listed him as questionable for Week 1 action. Green Bay signaled that Kraft was going to be available by not elevating a tight end from its practice squad prior to Friday's game, and he indeed will suit up. Kraft likely will play second fiddle to fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave to kick off the campaign.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Looking good for Friday night
The Green Bay Packers didn't elevate a tight end from their practice squad before Friday's game against the Eagles, which suggests Tucker Kraft (back) is on track to play, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports.Kraft is listed as questionable with a back injury, rather than the pectoral tear that kept him out of the offseason program and the early part of training camp. He was added to the injury report Wednesday after not being listed Tuesday, and it seems this is just a minor injury that's unlikely to prevent him from playing. The workload split at tight end between Kraft and fellow second-year pro Luke Musgrave merits close monitoring, although it's possible Week 1 isn't the best indicator of season-long expectations due to Kraft's missed practice time this summer (and now the minor back injury).

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Status in question for Friday
Tucker Kraft (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest versus the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.The Packers included Kraft on their estimated injury report Wednesday due to a back issue, which wasn't evident at Tuesday's practice. He proceeded to go through a limited session to cap Week 1 prep, and his game status now won't be confirmed, one way or another, until 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Any reps that Kraft cedes in Friday's game would filter down to fellow second-year TEs Luke Musgrave and Ben Sims.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Battling back injury
The Green Bay Packers estimated Tucker Kraft as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a back injury.Kraft wasn't listed on Packers' initial Week 1 injury report released Tuesday, which seemed to be an indication that he has made a full recovery from the torn pectoral muscle he suffered during the offseason. However, he's now nursing a back issue, which at least temporarily clouds his availability for Friday's season opener versus the Eagles in Brazil. If Kraft can upgrade to full participation at Thursday's practice, it would likely put to rest any concerns about his status heading into Friday.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: On track for Week 1
Tucker Kraft (pectoral) said Tuesday that he expects to be ready for the Green Bay Packers' Week 1 game against Philadelphia, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.Kraft suffered a pectoral tear early in the offseason and has been limited to individual drills at training camp since the Packers activated him from the PUP list Monday. The second-year tight end has more than a month to gear up for the season opener, and at this point, his role seems to be more of a question than his availability, as the Packers have fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave at tight end. Musgrave was the starter for most of last season and had plenty of promising moments, but Kraft had better receiving numbers when he got his chance to start, filling in late in the season while Musgrave recovered from a serious kidney injury. The Packers might even deploy a rotation rather than settling on one player as the clear No. 1 tight end.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Passes physical
Tucker Kraft (pectoral) passed his physical Monday and has been removed from the active/PUP list, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Kraft is ready to retake the practice field for the first time in training camp, and potentially even to be available for Saturday's road preseason game against the Browns. The second-year pro suffered a pectoral tear during the offseason, and now that he's healthy, Kraft will get a chance to compete for tight end reps with fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave, while Ben Sims and Tyler Davis figure to mix in as reserve options. Kraft impressed when tasked with a starting workload last season, so he and Musgrave could both realistically push for significant roles.
