Obviously just a brutal blow for a Packers team that has been struggling with inconsistency on offense to lose their one consistent playmaker.
As Mark wrote earlier today, Kraft was establishing himself as one of the elite tight ends in the NFL, so the injury is painful not only for the offense of which he was a focal point, but for the player who saw his breakout season cruelly cut short. Green Bay is fortunate to have a former second-round pick in Luke Musgrave to turn to, but he is almost the opposite profile of tight end to Kraft, and the foundation of the offense will need to be reworked moving forward. It is not an exaggeration to say Kraft’s injury could end up being the type of obstacle that prevents the Packers from going all the way in the postseason.
