Packers' Tucker Kraft: Runs routes in full pads
Kraft (knee) ran routes on air in full pads while catching passes from QB Jordan Love at Monday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Most notably for Kraft, he wasn't wearing the sleeve he'd been wearing on his right knee from the first nearly two weeks of training camp. He suffered an ACL tear in that knee Week 9 of last season, and while he sat out Friday's Family Night practice, he was back on the field as of Monday and continues to increase his reps as a Week 1 matchup at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13 draws closer. It doesn't appear likely Kraft will play during the preseason, and the question remains whether or not he and the Packers will agree to a contract extension.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Logs first practice since ACL tear
Kraft (knee), who was activated from the active/PUP list Friday, took part in individual drills at his first practice of Packers training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft is two days shy of being nine months removed from the right ACL tear that he suffered Week 9 of last season. Among his activities Friday were hitting a blocking pad, catching passes on the side and running some routes on air. Kraft relayed that before the session he convened with doctors from the University of Wisconsin, one of whom told him his knee appears "spectacular, almost like he had never seen rehabilitation like mine." During mandatory minicamp in June, Kraft stated his intention to play Week 1 at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 13, but first, his focus will be on increasing his activity level while he and his reps engage Green Bay brass on a potential contract extension.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Brought off PUP list
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Kraft (ACL) is being brought off the active/PUP list and will practice in some capacity, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft continues to make encouraging recovery from his right ACL tear, with the tight end's goal still being to suit up Week 1. Green Bay and Kraft are also engaged in ongoing contract negotiations, with optimism that a deal could be reached before the start of the regular season. Kraft is not yet ready to participate in team drills, per Bill Huber of SI.com, but he will take part in individual drills and team walkthroughs. Once back to full health, Kraft projects as an integral component of the Packers offense in 2026.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Week 1 remains in play
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday it's "very much a possibility" that Kraft (ACL), who began training camp on the active/PUP list, will be ready to play Week 1, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Gutekunst said he expects Kraft to come off the PUP list "sooner than later" during camp, and that Green Bay considers it in the team's best interest to ink the standout tight end to an extension before the start of the regular season, per Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Still, Gutekunst affirmed that Green Bay will be "cautious" with Kraft until the nine-month mark, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com, with the tight end currently roughly 8.5 months into his recovery.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Lands on PUP list
The Packers have placed Kraft (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday ahead of training camp, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Kraft's placement on the PUP list is no surprise, as the expectation has been that the tight end would begin camp on said list despite his own stated belief of being on track for Week 1. Once Kraft is cleared for on-field activities, Green Bay will be able to activate him at any point in training camp or the preseason. Kraft said in late July that he expects to be a full-go for Week 1, and he remains a candidate for a potential extension with Green Bay before the start of the regular season. Head coach Matt LaFleur said back in May that the hope is for Kraft to get back on the practice field during the early stages of training camp.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: May start camp on PUP list
Kraft (ACL) is likely to begin the first practice of training camp on July 29 on the active/PUP list, though the tight end expects to be a full-go for Week 1, Jason Wilde of Channel 3000 reports.
Kraft is still seemingly ahead of schedule in his rehab process, as Packers GM Brian Guteknust previously stated in May. Even if the tight end's recovery from a right ACL tear causes him to kick off training camp on the PUP list, it's possible he could be given the go-ahead to retake the practice field shortly thereafter. As Wilde reports, though, Kraft could desire a new extension before putting on the pads again. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that the Packers still hope to ink Kraft to a new long-term deal, as he's currently heading into the final year of his rookie contract. Green Bay has a history of exercising caution with player recoveries, especially from injuries such as ACL tears, but Kraft, Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have all offered optimism about the No. 1 tight end's progress.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Expects to play Week 1
Kraft (knee) said Wednesday that he expects to play Week 1 without any playing-time restrictions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Coming back from last year's ACL tear, Kraft is absent from OTA practices but hopes to participate in training camp. Packers coach Matt LaFleur also said he hopes to have the tight end on the field during the early portion of training camp, and Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said Kraft is ahead of schedule in his rehab process. While the Packers have a well-earned reputation for caution with injured players, it sounds like all parties are on board for Kraft making a run at gaining clearance for Week 1.

Packers' Tucker Kraft: Could be ready for training camp
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Kraft (ACL) could be back on the field by the start of, or during, training camp, Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
GM Brian Gutekunst said in early May that Kraft is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a right ACL tear and is expected to be back in the starting lineup early during the 2026 regular season, but LaFleur's current prognostication is arguably even more optimistic. The 25-year-old tight end is working his way back from surgery undergone last November after suffering a season-ending injury in Week 9 of the 2025 campaign. Before going down, Kraft had firmly established himself as one of the focal points of Green Bay's passing attack. With Romeo Doubs now in New England and Dontayvion Wicks in Philadelphia, Kraft stands alongside Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden as one of Jordan Love's top pass-catching options heading into 2026. In contrast to Kraft, LaFleur said he expects Micah Parsons (ACL) to begin training camp on the PUP list, per Ryan Wood of USA Today.
