Tucker Kraft was turning into a star for the Green Bay Packers this season. He's been one of the best tight ends in the game during Green Bay's hot start to the season.
But all that ended Sunday when Kraft left the game with the Carolina Packers with a knee injury, and he did not return. It was confirmed on Monday that he has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.
Kraft is their leading receiver, with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns before the injury. Here's the complete story from Packers Roundtable writer Matthew Schmidt.
