Packers tight end Tucker Kraft out for season with torn ACL
Our Summary
Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is out for the season due to a torn ACL sustained in Sunday's game against the Panthers. An MRI confirmed the injury, which will prevent Kraft from playing for the remainder of the year and potentially jeopardize his availability for the start of the 2026 season. Kraft, a third-round pick in 2023, was in his third year and positioned for a potential contract extension in the offseason. His absence is a significant loss for the Packers, as he leads the team with 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns. His performance this season has marked him as one of the NFL's top tight ends, and his injury presents a major challenge for the Packers' offense moving forward.
