Tucker Kraft returns to 11-on-11 drills at Packers training camp
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has returned to 11-on-11 team drills for the first time since suffering a torn ACL last November. During the team's 12th training camp practice on Sunday, Kraft caught five passes, including a touchdown, as he continues his recovery process.
Kraft, who was on pace for an All-Pro season before his injury, expressed confidence in his progress and his ability to impact the offense. He noted that he is focused on reaching full strength and diversifying his skill set, specifically mentioning a desire to improve his route running against man coverage.
In addition to Kraft's return, the practice saw several other developments. The secondary recorded multiple interceptions against the offense, including picks by Kitan Oladapo, Brandon Cisse, and Jaylin Simpson. However, quarterback Jordan Love faced pressure from the defensive front, highlighting potential protection issues for the upcoming season. The practice also included minor physical skirmishes between players that did not escalate beyond the sidelines.
