What happened: Tucker Kraft participated in warmups Saturday while working back from a torn ACL suffered last November. His ramp-up began with individual work after his PUP activation.

Why it matters: A Week 1 return would put Kraft back in the lineup roughly 10 months after the injury. He has said his workload may be managed until midseason.

By the numbers: Kraft caught 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games before the injury, averaging 15.3 yards per reception.

What to watch: His workload in the final preseason practices and his Week 1 designation will clarify the next stage of his return.
