Tucker Kraft

No. 85 · 4th season

Kraft tore his ACL in November. He's not planning to ease back in.

A torn ACL in early November is the kind of injury that rearranges a season — and sometimes the one after it. Tucker Kraft, the Green Bay Packers tight end, knows that better than anyone right now.

Kraft was in the middle of his season when his right knee gave out in a game against Carolina on November 2. An ACL tear typically means months of rehab, a cautious return, and all the careful language coaches use about "not rushing things."

So it means something that Kraft is heading into Week 1 expecting to play — and not on a pitch count. No easing in, no limited snaps to protect the knee. Just back.

Nine months is a short runway for this kind of recovery. Kraft clearing it without restriction is the part worth watching.
