Tucker Kraft targets Week 1 return for Packers after ACL injury

Tucker Kraft, tight end for the Green Bay Packers, aims to return in Week 1 of the 2026 season following a torn ACL suffered on November 2, 2025. Kraft reported progress at the Packers minicamp, stating he is recovering better than expected and feels ready to play without restrictions. His injury came during a season the Packers finished without a victory after December 14, also losing all-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons to a torn ACL. Kraft’s recovery coincides with the team's preparations for their opener against Minnesota on September 13, 2026, marking a significant potential impact on the Packers' offensive lineup and strategies.
