Final Packers injury report for Week 6 shows Tucker Kraft dodged disaster
Tucker Kraft is enjoying a breakout season for the Green Bay Packers despite battling multiple injuries.
It's always concerning when a player is added to the injury report mid-week, which is exactly what happened with Kraft. The Packers added him to the report on Thursday due to a groin injury, adding more concern to his status, as he had already been dealing with a shoulder issue.
But there's good news. Kraft practiced on Friday and "should be good to go," according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
They need him even more now. Luke Musgrave is out for a while, with LaFleur revealing that the second-year tight end will head to injured reserve, costing him a minimum of four games. Kraft becomes an even more important player in the Packers' offense.
Here is the Packers' full injury report for Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals:
Player | Position | Injury | Friday | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jaire Alexander | CB | Groin | LP | Questionable |
Zayne Anderson | S | Elbow | FP | - |
Kenny Clark | DL | Toe | LP | - |
Edgerrin Cooper | LB | Hip | FP | - |
Jonathan Ford | DL | Calf | FP | - |
Elgton Jenkins | G/T | Knee | FP | - |
Tucker Kraft | TE | Groin | LP | - |
Jordan Morgan | T/G | Shoulder | LP | Questionable |
Arron Mosby | DL | Shoulder | FP | Questionable |
Luke Musgrave | TE | Ankle | DNP | Out (IR) |
Zach Tom | OL | Shoulder | FP | - |
Carrington Valentine | CB | Ankle | LP | - |
Rasheed Walker | T | Knee | LP | Questionable |
Christian Watson | WR | Ankle | LP | Questionable |
Devonte Wyatt | DL | Ankle | DNP | Out |
Packers have some injury concerns entering Week 6
The Packers won't have Devonte Wyatt for another week, Musgrave is out indefinitely, and there are other concerns entering Week 6.
The team added left tackle Rasheed Walker to the injury report on Friday due to a knee injury—he is questionable. Jordan Morgan, who could presumably step in if Walker misses time, is also questionable. Andre Dillard or Kadeem Telfort could be called into action.
Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson, and Arron Mosby are questionable. Alexander is still dealing with a groin injury that has cost him two games, while Watson's status remains uncertain despite the progress he has made this week.
While not injury-related, LaFleur confirmed that wide receiver Romeo Doubs will play this week after returning from his one-game suspension.
Green Bay's practice squad call-ups on Saturday will give us a clearer indication of which questionable players would suit up this week. Hopefully, the Packers can get Alexander and Watson back.
Walker's status is the interesting one. The Packers have dealt with practice injuries all year, and this is potentially a significant one. Walker is quietly having an excellent season as the Packers' starting left tackle, outside of a few frustrating penalties.
Hopefully, it's nothing too serious, but Green Bay has listed him as questionable. It's unclear who the backup is, but either Dillard or Telfort would likely get the start if the Packers don't feel comfortable with Morgan playing tackle. The first-round pick has played almost exclusively at guard since training camp, and he is also recovering from a shoulder injury.
