Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is dealing with a groin injury and is not participating in Saturday’s annual Family Night practice, according to multiple local reports.
This is a new injury for Kraft, who had not missed any time during training camp until now. Groin injuries are always concerning due to their tendency to linger and high risk of re-aggravation.

The Packers are counting on Kraft to take another leap in Year 3 following a breakout 2024 season. He caught 50 passes for 707 yards and seven touchdowns on just 70 targets. Among NFL tight ends last season, Kraft ranked tied for fourth in touchdown catches, seventh in receiving yards, and second in yards per target (10.1).
Kraft is expected to play a major role in Green Bay’s offense this season. Head coach Matt LaFleur will likely provide an update on Kraft’s status following Family Night and, hopefully, confirm it’s nothing serious.
Here is a list of other players held out of Saturday’s Family Night practice:
