Packers' Tucker Kraft Expects to Be Ready for the Start of the Season as He Recovers From Torn ACL

Kraft said he is recovering well and expects to be ready after missing most of last season with a knee injury.

  • On Wednesday, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft expressed confidence he will be ready for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1.
  • An ACL tear during a Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers on November 2 ended Kraft’s season, forcing him to miss the second half of 2025.
  • Touting his recovery, Kraft said, "I'm doing better than expected." He hit 21.5 miles per hour, as Saturday, June 13 marks the seven-month point since his surgery.
  • While anticipating the team will start him on the physically unable to perform list, the tight end expects to receive enough conditioning in training camp to participate fully without a pitch count.
  • General manager Brian Gutekunst intends to proceed cautiously to protect the player, though Kraft holds immense breakout potential for the 2026 season upon his return to full health.
