“I think the familiarity with most our guys, obviously we lost some people, losing a guy like Romeo Doubs is not the easiest to replace,” LaFleur said, “but it’s opportunity for other guys to step up and get more opps. We lost Rasheed Walker, as well. But I’m excited about the group we’ve got coming back. It’ll be great to have Tucker Kraft coming off his ACL injury. He’s been around quite a bit. Watching him train and rehab and go through that process, he’s gonna be a big focal point of our offense.”
Kraft, who LaFleur said is “right on schedule” in his recovery, should provide a boost in his return. He was well on his way to a breakout with 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns through eight games when he tore his ACL, robbing Love of his trustiest target.
