Tucker Kraft injury update from Matt LaFleur is terrible news for Packers
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft exited the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers early with a knee injury and an update from the team isn't good.
It did not look good initially for the star tight end, as Kraft was clutching his knee and was in clear pain before he was helped to the sideline and carted to the locker room.
After the game, head coach Matt LaFleur did not provide a specific update, but he did say it "does not look good" for Kraft moving forward, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Of course, the fear is that Kraft has a torn ACL or some other major ligament injury. To be clear, that has not been reported yet, either by an NFL insider or the team, but that is one of the worst-case scenarios for the young tight end.
Kraft was in the midst of a career year and was in the process of cementing himself as one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
With his 20 yards on Sunday, the former third-round pick had totaled 489 yards and six touchdowns over his eight games and was a little over 200 yards away from his career-high of 707 receiving yards.
Now, the Packers are going to be without one of their best playmakers for what seems to be an extended period of time.
It'll be interesting to see if the Packers make a move for a tight end at the trade deadline. If not, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick will have to step up.
Tyler Warren's hair is just one awesome feature of multi-dimensional Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren does it all.
That includes pulling off shoulder-length blonde hair as an NFL tight end.
The Indianapolis Colts' rookie, taken No. 14 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State, is clearly special.
The hair just completes the picture.
There don't appear to be any real origin stories of the hair. Warren's early PSU pictures have him with shorter hair, so it was an in-college decision.
Once he started growing it, Warren clearly decided not to stop.
It just added to the vibe of one of the best players in the country. Penn State threw to him a ton, of course. But they also let him run the ball and even throw the ball.
The Colts had to have been thrilled when Warren made it to No. 14 in the first round. He wasn't even the first tight end chosen. The Chicago Bears took Colston Loveland at No. 10, a move that hasn't aged well so far.
Warren looks like he can be the centerpiece of Indy's passing attack for years and years to come. He's been a favorite target of Daniel Jones, and yes, Warren already has a rushing TD this season, too.
It wouldn't be shocking at all to see a few youngsters in the Indianapolis area begin growing out their hair, too. If Tyler can do it, why not them?
It's hard to pull it off the way Warren has, though. He's so impressive on the field that the flowing hair just adds to the picture. And so far, it's quite the exquisite picture.
