Packers’ Matt LaFleur comments on Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury

Matt LaFleur addressed the media following the season-ending injury of Tucker Kraft.

“He’s doing as good as you could ever be doing, considering the circumstances,” LaFleur told reporters on Tuesday. “Tuck’s a guy that, he’s not going to flinch. That’s why we love him. I mean, he’s a hell of a player, hell of a teammate, hell of a guy. I’m bummed for him. I’m bummed for us. But it’s part of it, and it’s got to be that next-man-up mentality.”

Kraft has been a strong offensive weapon for the Green Bay Packers, emerging as Jordan Love’s go-to target. His ability to gain yards after the catch and serve as a reliable red-zone target has boosted the Packers’ passing attack.

LaFleur emphasized the need for others to step up, naming Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick as options to fill the gap.
