Tucker Kraft's knee injury suffered at practice today doesn't appear to be a long-term issue, per source. He'll be added to the injury report.

first.

This is the first I’ve heard of it.

And that being the case, this is the kind of news that leaves me curled up crying next to the toilet.

You’re messing me up, Joe.

Not a lot of information, because regular season practices are closed to the press. but it looks like you can get off the floor.

A positive update on Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft: according to both Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kraft is "OK" after an injury scare during Thursday's practice.

Kraft was added to the injury report on Thursday with a left knee injury suffered at practice, but Schefter reported the third-year tight end will be "all good" after tests on the injury post-practice. Rapoport called the knee injury a "little tweak" but said Kraft "checked out OK" after testing.

It remains unclear if Kraft, who leads the Packers in receptions and receiving yards through two weeks, will play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. However, it is clear that the worst-case scenario -- such as a season-ending ACL tear -- has been avoided. With only three days of recovery available before kickoff on Sunday, Kraft is probably unlikely to play against the Browns, but the final injury report on Friday afternoon will provide an official status designation.

If mighty Lafluer loses to the Browns and then to Dallas….the Pack is 2-2. AND probably a game behind Detroit after 4 games.
Man…..I am not a fan of Lafluer. Think I’m nuts?

I realize that you are a professor. All educated and sophisticated.

I reckon, you ain’t ever met Harrell, the poster. I once went catfish noodling with the dude on the Fox River. Dude got bite by a large snapping turtle. Reptile had Harrell’s right hand inside its mouth and wouldn’t let go. Harrell shook and shook and finally threw the bitch into Lake Michigan. Blood was everywhere but Harrell simply shrugged it off and continued on with noodling.

Point being, like Harrell, Kraft is redneck tough. I wouldn’t worry about the rugged redneck from South Dakota. He’ll play.

Go be a negative Nelly somewhere else.

If you have concerns state them out. But all you do is bitch without anything to discuss.

You can be a negative nelly here - you might just want to back up your opinions with either facts or some reasoning as to why you don't think The Flower is a good coach. Is it that he can't challenge a play very well, that he sucks at that? Is it that he hasn't had a lot of playoff success? Is it his insistence on keeping Rich Bisaccia, whose special teams are n ot all that good? Why is it you don't think the guy is a good coach?

[ThunderDan]

I'll throw a fact out.

LeFleur ranks 13th all-time with coaches with more than 50 games coached at 67-33 before the season started.

On a side note, I fucking hate when we call more than 1 jet sweep in a football game.

Well, your entire thesis of MiLF sucks is based on you projecting back to back losses to inferior teams so....nuts? I'll stop there and be nice.

He only has 8 posts and this is the first one I've seen. The other 7 are just as bad??

NFCC game and playoffs with a big upset with the youngest roster in the league while the team is recovering from cap hell. I'm not sure this was accurate. Unless you have the Joemailman standard of Owl or its a bust he has been solid.

Usually in Game Day threads and yes just as bad. Almost like RutnStrut. He is the anti-TPB.

I am all for calling out what we don't like with the Packers. Just give your reasons/facts for your opinion.

Wait a minute. When did I say that? To me, that sounds more Like Bretsky.

I don't think it's Joe you're thinking of.

I'm not saying I think The Flower is a bad coach; I'm just giving this person examples of what he might say to start a debate.

I do think The Flower has stumbled in the 2019 and 2020 NFC Championship games. In both he seemed a bit outmatched, to me. But maybe I say that only because they didn't win. I just thought he went turtle on offense in the Tampa game.

That 2019 team for whatever reason was terrible on the west coast. Lost 26-11 to the Chargers, 37-8 to the 49ers and 37-20 (it was 34-7 at one point) to the 49ers. They could have played the 49ers 5 times and would have lost all 5. They just weren't as good as the 49ers. 2020 was more disappointing because they were at home and were playing so well. Fell behind 28-10 before rallying. 2021 loss to the 49ers probably was worse. Got off to a fast start offensively, and then nothing the rest of the night. Last year getting off to bad starts against good teams was a real issue. Seem to have corrected that so far this year.
