Kraft didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-19 win in Chicago. The Packers logged 25 fewer offensive plays than the Bears and held possession for nearly 13 minutes less than the opposition, resulting in a season-low 17 pass attempts for QB Jordan Love in any of his eight appearances. As a result, no Green Bay pass catcher was targeted more than five times, and only Josh Jacobs (five) and Christian Watson (four) received more than three. As for Kraft, he was held without a catch for the first time in 10 games on the campaign. His next chance to get back in the box score is next Sunday against the 49ers.

Kraft didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-19 win in Chicago. The Packers logged 25 fewer offensive plays than the Bears and held possession for nearly 13 minutes less than the opposition, resulting in a season-low 17 pass attempts for QB Jordan Love in any of his eight appearances. As a result, no Green Bay pass catcher was targeted more than five times, and only Josh Jacobs (five) and Christian Watson (four) received more than three. As for Kraft, he was held without a catch for the first time in 10 games on the campaign. His next chance to get back in the box score is next Sunday against the 49ers.
Kraft recorded four receptions on six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added one catch for two yards. Kraft tied for second on the team with six targets, his highest mark since Week 4. Rainy weather affected Jordan Love's accuracy and willingness to push the ball down the field, so Kraft's yardage total was modest despite his increased role, as his longest catch went for just 13 yards. Even so, Kraft's involvement was a positive on a down day for Green Bay's offense overall.
Kraft brought in all three of his targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville. Kraft finished as the Packers' leading receiver in a game where starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) left in the second half due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old Kraft was coming off a game where he recorded his fourth touchdown of season, bringing him up to a respectable 24/342/5 receiving line through eight games. Kraft makes for a solid play against the Lions next Sunday.
Kraft was targeted four times and caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans. Kraft was slowed by a groin injury last week, but he occupied his usual spot in the starting lineup Sunday and found the end zone for the fourth time in four weeks. Kraft will have a chance to keep his momentum going, as he and the Packers will next face a Jaguars defense that has been as friendly to tight ends as anyone over the last five weeks, allowing big games to Hunter Henry (8-92-0) and Cole Kmet (5-70-2) as well as TDs to Mo Alie-Cox and Dalton Kincaid.
Kraft (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Kraft was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices during the week, but he'll give it a go Sunday. He played through the groin injury Week 6 against the Cardinals but was limited to 13 yards on four targets after racking up 141 yards and three touchdowns over the previous two games.
Kraft (groin) was limited at Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. The Packers are taking it easy on Kraft due to the groin injury that popped up last Thursday. He still was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Cardinals, notching 81 percent of snaps and gathering in two of four targets for 13 yards. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Kraft goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Kraft (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. Kraft now has operated with a cap on his reps for three straight practices going back to last week, but the groin injury didn't impact his availability for this past Sunday's game against the Cardinals, when he handled a typical 81 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards. With Luke Musgrave (ankle) on IR for the foreseeable future, Kraft shouldn't have any difficulty dominating the TE reps for the Packers moving forward, but Ben Sims, practice-squad member Andrew Beck and John FitzPatrick are the candidates for work at the position.
Kraft secured two of four targets for 13 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Packers' 34-13 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Kraft couldn't come close to replicating his stellar Week 5 production, which included a pair of touchdowns and 88 receiving yards overall. The second-year tight end does have multiple receptions in each game this season, but when the Packers' full complement of wide receivers are healthy, Kraft's production could experience some volatility.
Kraft (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports. Coach Matt LaFleur made it clear earlier Friday that there isn't much concern, even though Kraft was added to the injury report midweek. Kraft was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, but he should get plenty of work this Sunday, especially with No. 2 tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) being placed on injured reserve. Kraft caught 10 of 14 targets for 141 yards and three TDs over the past two games, topping 80 percent snap share in both contests.
