Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft is feared to have torn his ACL on Sunday, ESPN and NFL Network reported.
Kraft will undergo more testing Monday and would be out the rest of this season and potentially longer if a tear is confirmed.
“It doesn’t look good,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters after his team’s 16-13 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers.
Kraft went down with a right knee injury while blocking on a running play in the third quarter. He was helped off the field and soon carted to the locker room.
Kraft, who turns 25 Monday, entered the game as the Packers’ leading receiver with 30 receptions for 469 yards and six touchdowns. He added two catches for 20 yards before his exit Sunday.
The Packers will also await word from their medical team about rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden, who also left in the third quarter after injuring his shoulder.
