Fresh off his career performance against the Steelers, Tucker Kraft was dealt a blow in Sunday’s game against the Panthers.
The Packers‘ standout tight end was carted off after he suffered a right knee injury in the third quarter. Kraft was later ruled questionable to return.
Kraft suffered the injury while he was blocking for Packers running back Josh Jacobs on a carry. It appeared that his right knee made awkward contact with a teammate as he was pulling for a block.
Kraft has been among the league’s best tight ends this season. He ranked third in receiving yards (469) and second in receiving touchdowns (six) at the position ahead of Sunday’s NFL slate. He had seven receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s win over the Steelers.
Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden also suffered an injury during Sunday’s game. He was deemed questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
