After suffering a scary-looking knee injury during Thursday’s practice, it looks like tight end Tucker Kraft won’t be stuck on the sideline this weekend after all.

Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and The Insiders, Kraft is expected to play against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday despite the injury on Thursday and missing practice entirely on Friday. His chances of playing did not look great at all 24 hours ago, but it looks like miracles do happen after all.

Kraft is coming off one of the best games of his career when he put up 124 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. In Week One, Kraft was quiet with two receptions for 16 yards, but he did find the end zone, as well.

The Packers will look to keep their undefeated season alive against the winless Browns on the road this week and even though that would have probably been the case even without Kraft available, it’s still nice knowing the offense will be healthier than expected.
