Packers TE Tucker Kraft is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, despite a left knee injury he suffered in practice this week. Kraft missed practice Friday and then turned up questionable on the final injury report.
What They're Saying
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero: "After an injury scare Thursday and not practicing Friday, Packers TE Tucker Kraft is expected to play Sunday."
HC Matt LaFleur on No. 2 TE Luke Musgrave ahead of Friday's practice: "We all know the type of player that he is capable of being. It's just the availability has been in the past kind of derailed his progress. Whether Tuck can go or not, that'll be more opps for Luke and he's a guy that we obviously think very, very highly of and are confident that he can go out there and do a great job for us."

We're certainly betting on an active Kraft maintaining the lead spot among Green Bay tight ends. But that LaFleur quote makes it sound like we should expect more playing time than usual for Musgrave.
That, of course, could come at Kraft's expense. And it wouldn't be shocking if the Packers limit Kraft's exposure coming off a mid-week knee injury that challenged his availability.
We'll watch for any pregame signals on Kraft's Week 3 role. Make sure to check the TE rankings or your Team Intel page before finalizing your lineup to see if anything has changed in the Week 3 projections.
