Tucker Kraft Could Participate in Joint Practice Later This Month

Sunday, August 2, 10:37 AM

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that it's realistic for tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to take part in the team's joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals later in the month, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. LaFleur said that Kraft will have to hit all of his benchmarks to be cleared to do so. The 25-year-old started training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 9 of last year, but the Packers have already activated him, and he took part in his first practice on Friday. Barring a setback as he continues to ramp up, Kraft is trending toward being a full-go for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in early September, and despite his serious knee injury from 2025, he should be considered a top-five fantasy TE. The former third-rounder from South Dakota State was in the midst of a breakout last year before his torn ACL, catching 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games played for Green Bay.

Kenyon Sadiq Gets Scheduled Rest Day

Monday, August 3, 11:41 AM

New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) was given a scheduled rest day as the team continues to manage his workload following offseason surgery, according to Antwan V. Staley. Sadiq had practiced for three straight days before the Jets held him out, and the move was described as part of his maintenance program rather than a setback. The first-round rookie underwent the procedure after participating in rookie minicamp, then missed OTAs and mandatory minicamp while recovering. He returned for the start of training camp and has been able to practice, which makes the planned day off less concerning. New York selected Sadiq 16th overall after he caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns at Oregon last season. He remains an intriguing piece in a tight end group that also includes Mason Taylor and Jeremy Ruckert. His next practice status is still worth checking, but there is no current indication of a new injury.
