Kraft was carted into the locker room after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
He lined up left and was moving to his right behind the line of scrimmage when he ran into the backside of Packers guard Sean Rhyan, who was blocking Carolina’s Nic Scourton on the play.

After getting helped to the sideline, Kraft went into the blue injury tent. He then went directly from the injury tent to the cart.
Josh Jacobs sounded emotional after the game in the locker room when talking about Tucker Kraft’s injury.
