An MRI conducted Monday showed Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has a torn right ACL and will miss the rest of the season, multiple outlets reported.
The news came on Kraft’s 25th birthday.
The injury occurred in Sunday’s 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers when Kraft’s right leg was hit by another player as he blocked on a running play in the third quarter. He was helped off the field and soon carted to the locker room.
Kraft leads the Packers (5-2-1) in both receiving yards (489) and receiving touchdowns (six) and is second in receptions with 32.
Green Bay selected Kraft in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of South Dakota State. He has been a valuable asset for quarterback Jordan Love over 42 games (33 starts). He has 113 receptions for 1,551 yards, good for an average of 13.7 yards per catch, and 15 touchdowns.
