Considering Kraft practiced through the injury earlier this week, it&#8217;s likely this is a minor issue. But caution is necessary when handling one of the team&#8217;s most important offensive players, especially this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur also confirmed running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a major injury when he went down during Friday&#8217;s practice. The initial fear was a significant knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We dodged that one. That&#8217;s some really good news,&#8221; LaFleur said.<\/p>\n<p>LaFleur did not have an update on rookie Savion Williams, who was pulled from the practice on Saturday night after making a few plays in team periods. The third-round pick had been in the league&#8217;s concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/packerswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/packers\/2025\/08\/03\/packers-coach-matt-lafleur-provides-update-on-tucker-krafts-groin-injury\/85498094007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Packers coach Matt LaFleur provides update on Tucker Kraft&#039;s groin injury;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Packers coach Matt LaFleur provides update on Tucker Kraft&#8217;s groin injury<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said tight end Tucker Kraft has been working through a groin injury&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[8431,7,41,345,2514,2513,28458,3672,3031,6,428,904,14233],"class_list":{"0":"post-258665","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-emanuel-wilson","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-green-bay","11":"tag-green-bay-packers","12":"tag-greenbay","13":"tag-greenbaypackers","14":"tag-groin-injury","15":"tag-knee-injury","16":"tag-matt-lafleur","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-packers","19":"tag-savion-williams","20":"tag-tucker-kraft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114965219698278848","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
