Packers' Tucker Kraft returns to 'SNF' vs Cowboys after injury scare
Tucker Kraft saw his 2025 season to an end with a right knee injury. Now it's the other knee that could be the concern for the Green Bay Packers tight end.
Kraft hauled in a pass from Jordan Love with under two minutes remaining in the first half of the Packers' "Sunday Night Football" matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, when he was tackled by Caleb Downs.
It's the nature of the tackle that is the concern for Kraft, who remained down on the field before walking into the blue medical tent to be evaluated.
Kraft's left leg was planted on the ground when Downs came in with the tackle, seemingly turning his knee in an awkward position. Notably, the tight end suffered a right ACL tear last season, so this hit was to his other knee.
Of course, the positive is that he was walking under his own power.
Here's the latest.
