Packers TE Tucker Kraft building momentum heading into first preseason game

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has been building momentum over the last week of practices heading into the team’s first preseason game with Cincinnati.

Kraft’s best performance of the summer came during the Packers’ annual Family Night practice. In that setting, we saw him make a few receptions, including one in the red zone, another that was contested, and a third where he was able to showcase his YAC ability. Kraft also threw some key blocks in the run game as well.

With Josiah Deguara sidelined for three-plus practices with a calf injury, Kraft also saw more snaps with the starting offense as well, often utilized as the second tight end next to Luke Musgrave when the Packers are in 12 personnel, which has been quite often this summer.
