Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Kraft (pectoral) will be sidelined until at least the start training camp, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaFleur said Kraft and offensive lineman Zach Tom (pectoral) will both be out until at least the start of training camp, if not longer. The nature of Kraft's injury hasn't yet been disclosed, but he was spotted with his arm in a sling Tuesday and didn't practice. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick stepped up nicely in the wake of an injury to Luke Musgrave, also a 2023 draftee. He figures to handle a complementary role in Green Bay's tight end room when healthy.

Kraft recorded three receptions on six targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

It was a perplexing stat line for Kraft, as he tied for the team lead with six targets and also caught a pivotal two-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. However, he managed an abysmal 1.5 yards per target and his longest gain of the day went for only seven yards. Kraft emerged as a key piece of the Packers' offense in the second half of the season due to Luke Musgrave being sidelined by a kidney injury, and the former recorded multiple receptions in each of his last 10 contests. He and Musgrave will likely continue to split targets in 2024 and beyond, as both tight ends will be entering their second season in the NFL.

Kraft was targeted three times and caught two passes for 15 yards in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Kraft and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave both garnered starts Sunday, and although Kraft played 45 snaps to Musgrave's 15, the latter made far more of an impact in the box score with three catches for 52 yards and a score. Expect both players to remain involved when the Packers face the 49ers on Saturday in the divisional round.

Kraft was targeted three times and caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave returned to action Sunday after missing six games with a lacerated kidney, but Kraft remained Green Bay's starting tight end, and he played 54 snaps to Musgrave's nine. Kraft produced steadily during Musgrave's absence and caught a crucial pass late in Sunday's contest, so although Musgrave opened the season as the starter at his position, it seems likely Kraft will hold onto the job for the upcoming playoff matchup with the Cowboys.

Kraft recorded six receptions on six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Kraft continued to operate as the Packers' top tight end in the absence of Luke Musgrave (abdomen). He was overshadowed by both Jayden Reed (chest) and Bo Melton in Sunday's win, but Kraft's role in the offense is secure. He has at least six targets in four of his last five games and has a minimum of four catches in four straight contests. His ceiling is limited due to Green Bay's willingness to spread targets, but so long as Musgrave remains out, Kraft is a reliable option.

Kraft was targeted six times and caught four passes for 60 yards in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

It was not a huge afternoon for Kraft, but he did record four receptions and at least 57 yards for the third straight game. His role will change when fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) returns, but it's unclear if that will occur in Week 17, as the Packers are being cautious with Musgrave as he works his way back from a lacerated kidney. Either way, Kraft will have his work cut out for him next week, as he and the Packers will square off against a Vikings team that just shut down Sam LaPorta and ceded just one touchdown to opposing tight ends over its last 10 games.

Kraft brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie tight end continued to enjoy a solid role in the Packers' air attack, finishing with the team's second-highest yardage tally of the afternoon and also recording his second career touchdown on a five-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter. Kraft clearly has earned the trust of quarterback Jordan Love while logging five straight multi-catch efforts, making him a viable option in the fantasy playoffs when Green Bay travels to visit the Panthers in Week 16.

Kraft brought in all four targets for 64 yards in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie came up with the longest reception of the night for either team, recording a 43-yard catch with just under nine minutes remaining in the game to jump start a drive that culminated in a Packers field goal. Kraft's reception and receiving yardage totals were both new career bests, and he'll therefore head into a Week 15 home matchup against the Buccaneers as an emerging fantasy option at a challenging position.

Kraft had three receptions on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Kraft's six targets were good enough to finish second for Green Bay on Sunday, and his 37 receiving yards set a new season high through 12 weeks. The 23-year-old had a potential touchdown vultured when fellow rookie tight end Ben Sims scored on his only catch of one yard. Kraft will continue to start for the Packers next Monday against the Giants while starter Luke Musgrave (abdomen) mends on injured reserve for at least two more games.

Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Kraft nearly picked up his first career touchdown in Green Bay's Week 11 victory over the Chargers, but he broke through Thursday, finding the end zone shortly before the first quarter came to a close. The 23-year-old has filled a complementary role for most of his rookie season, but his snaps have steadily increased, and with fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out in Week 12, Kraft started and was on the field for all but a couple plays. Musgrave will miss at least three more games after landing on injured reserve, so Kraft will presumably continue occupying a starting spot. The upcoming matchups aren't great, but Kraft will at least have opportunity on his side, and quarterback Jordan Love is heating up.
