Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a torn ACL and will be out for the rest of the season.
Tight end Tucker Kraft suffered an injury in the Green Bay Packers 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Tests today confirmed that Kraft tore his ACL and he will miss the rest of the season.
Kraft had 32 receptions for 489 yards and 6 touchdowns on the season for Green Bay, leading Packers pass catcher in yards and touchdowns. Former second round pick Luke Musgrave will be expected to fill the void left by Kraft.
Kraft can be dropped in season long leagues and Musgrave should be a priority add for managers. Kraft had been an elite tight end on the season, leaving open the possibility that Musgrave can become a regular fantasy starter for the rest of the season.

Packers Tight End Luke Musgrave is expected to miss Week 12 and beyond.
Green Bay Packers’ rookie tight end, Luke Musgrave, has been ruled out for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Detroit Lions due to a “pretty significant” injury, specifically a lacerated kidney, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. This serious abdominal injury had Musgrave hospitalized, and it’s speculated that he sustained it in the 3rd quarter during a critical 3rd-down catch with 9 minutes remaining. Remarkably, Musgrave played through the injury, showcasing his toughness.
With Musgrave sidelined, his backup and fellow rookie, Tucker Kraft, will have the opportunity to step into the TE1 role. Additionally, wideouts Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks are questionable, and RB Aaron Jones is unlikely to play. The Packers may be without several key players on Thanksgiving Day, potentially posing a challenge for Jordan Love, especially facing the defensive prowess of Aidan Hutchinson and the Lions.
