LaFleur: Kraft's knee injury not long term, but Packers TE is questionable for Sunday

Starting RT Zach Tom is also questionable.

The Packers face the Browns in Cleveland Sunday at 12:00 p.m.

SECOND UPDATE: The Packers do not expect Tucker Kraft's knee injury to be a long-term issue, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday morning.

“It’s unfortunate, it is what it is," LaFleur said Friday. "I don’t think it will be long term.”

Kraft "tweaked" to his knee during Thursday's practice. He is not practicing Friday and his status for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns is up in the air.

“We’ll give him up until game time," LaFleur said. "But more than anything he’s got to feel confident and be (medically) cleared at the same time”

The Packers injury report will be released later Friday afternoon.

FIRST UPDATE: Despite injuring his knee during Thursday's practice, Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Brown.

Kraft suffered "just a little knee tweak," according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

The Athletic reports that Kraft could play Sunday, but how he performs in Friday's practice could impact his status.
