Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 of the 2025 season. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said after the draft that he expects Kraft back “early in the season.” Kraft previously told reporters he expects to start training camp on the PUP list, though the Packers could take him off whenever he is ready to practice. Kraft added that he expects to be ready by Week 1. As long as he is practicing in full by the end of camp, that should be an attainable goal. Kraft was on pace for over 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns last year. Even if he takes a few weeks to get up to speed, he should be a top-half TE1 early in the season.
