What happened: The Packers activated tight end Tucker Kraft off PUP less than nine months after surgery to repair his right ACL. Kraft said his doctor called the condition of his knee spectacular and that rehabilitation data continues to improve.

Why it matters: That medical assessment supports optimism, but PUP activation does not prove readiness for contact or maximum snaps. Protecting his progression now gives the Packers a better chance of sustaining his availability throughout the upcoming 2026 season.
