Tucker Kraft has been making headlines lately from Green Bay Packers practices as he gears up for a bigger year which should be a continuation of his splendid 2025 season.
The 24-year-old tight end is entering his third year after growing into an important offensive weapon for head coach Matt LaFleur in 2024. He posted 50 receptions for 707 yards and added seven touchdowns.
That, however, was only made possible as he needed to step up when fellow TE Luke Musgrave went down on an ankle injury in October. With Musgrave healthy again, how will LaFleur utilize the two TE’s talent?
The coach thinks they’re offense just became more potent with the pair’s availability.
“What’s cool is they are both fully capable of doing a lot of cool stuff,” LaFleur said.
“It definitely gives you a lot more flexibility on offense, the athleticism you’re looking for in both the run and the pass game. It makes you a lot more unpredictable.”
Tucker Kraft missed family night
Kraft has the Packers fan base feeling excited but it was dashed a few days ago when he suffered a groin injury in one of the practices. This made him miss the Family Night on Sunday.
There’s not much to worry though as LaFleur already cleared up that he only needed a rest.
