Matt LaFleur Sheds Light on Concerning Tucker Kraft Situation

The Green Bay Packers continued work on the field on Saturday, with tens of thousands of fans in attendance watching amid the annual Family Night.

However, one notable player who was not able to make it to the field and practice was tight end Tucker Kraft. The former South Dakota State Jackrabbits star is nursing a lower-body injury, forcing the Packers to take it easy on the tight end and keep him on the shelf rather than risk aggravation of the issue.

Speaking in front of the media, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur opened up about Kraft’s status.

Via Green Bay reporter Rob Demovsky of ESPN:

“MLF said Tucker Kraft has been dealing with a groin injury and powering through it for the last two days but they decided to give him a couple days off.”

 

These are complete list of Packers players who did not practice on Family night, per Mike Spofford of Packers.com, who also noted that the tight end was the only “nw injury’:

“Not practicing for #Packers on Family Night: WR C. Watson, WR D. Wicks, WR S. Brown, CB N. Hobbs, RB E. Wilson, RB M. Lloyd, CB K. Hadden, DL C. Oliver, DL A. Mosby, T R. Walker, G J. Williams, T T. Glover, TE T. Kraft.”
