The Green Bay Packers will look to go 3-0 to begin the 2025 NFL<\/a> season this week against the Cleveland Browns. After defeating the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders to begin the year, a win over the Browns seems likely.<\/p>\n

However, the Packers are facing a trap game. Going up against Cleveland should offer them an easier matchup than the first two weeks, but they can’t afford to look past them.<\/p>\n

Heading into this week’s game, there have been questions about the health status of star tight end Tucker Kraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to a report from NFL<\/a> insider Tom Pelissero, Kraft will be good to go against the Browns this week. The knee injury was minor and won’t hold him out a single game.<\/p>\n

“Good news for Green Bay: After an injury scare Thursday and not practicing Friday, Packers TE Tucker Kraft is expected to play Sunday vs. the Browns, per The Insiders,” Pelissero wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kraft has been a breakout star for the Packers this season. He has been playing at a very high level and would be one of the best tight ends in the NFL<\/a> if he continues playing at the level he has shown thus far.<\/p>\n

Throughout the first two games of the year, Kraft has caught eight passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns. He has become one of Jordan Love’s favorite targets.<\/p>\n

Against a far inferior Cleveland team, Green Bay will need all of its players to make sure it takes care of business. With a huge Week 4 matchup on the road against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football looming, the Packers simply cannot afford to have a letdown performance against the Browns.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the injury is just a blip on the radar that isn’t seen again. Green Bay cannot afford to have Kraft miss time this season.<\/p>\n

All of that being said, Kraft will be on the field for the Packers this week. He’ll present a major threat that Cleveland’s defense will need to focus on.<\/p>\n
