It's the last thing the Green Bay Packers needed. Tucker Kraft is enjoying a breakout season and has put himself in the All-Pro conversation, but he suffered an injury in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers and had to exit the game.
Kraft took a hit to his leg and was down on the field for a while. The medical team had to cart the former third-rounder off the field, and it didn't look great.
We'll update this article with all the latest updates.
Latest injury updates for Packers TE Tucker Kraft after being carted off vs. Panthers in Week 9
The fear is that Tucker Kraft suffered a torn ACL
It's likely Kraft will miss the rest of the season, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport: "The fear heading into the MRI is that Tucker Kraft tore his ACL, source said. Just brutal."
Matt LaFleur delivers the worst possible update on Tucker Kraft
"Yeah, it doesn't look good," Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said postgame.
He didn't confirm how long Kraft will miss, but his response says it all. The fear is a season-ending injury, and LaFleur didn't sound optimistic about his star tight end. It's a brutal update.

Unsurprisingly, the Packers have ruled out Kraft for the rest of the game with a knee injury. They will also finish the contest without first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden, who suffered a shoulder injury. Green Bay has lost several starters in this game on both sides of the ball, but Kraft's injury is the most concerning. His status is one to watch after the game.
Tucker Kraft carted off due to injury, officially questionable
Kraft is officially questionable due to a knee injury, but it didn't look great.
The Packers can only hope it's not a serious injury for their superstar tight end.
Kraft has made an outstanding start to the season, catching 30 passes for 469 yards and six touchdowns. He is one of the most explosive tight ends in the league with the ball in his hands — he has 336 yards after the catch this season.
Hopefully, it's not serious. Kraft is so important to this offense and creates mismatches all over the field. Without him, the Packers may need to lean on former second-round pick Luke Musgrave, who has barely played this season due to Kraft dominating the snaps.
