Packers TE Tucker Kraft (ACL) cleared for team drills

Aug 17, 2026

How eager was Tucker Kraft to get on the practice field Sunday? He was the first player out of the Don Hutson Center and onto the practice field. The reason? He was finally cleared to do 11-on-11 team drills. While Kraft had returned to practice on July 31, he had been limited only to individual drills as he continued his comeback from last year's ACL surgery.

Fantasy Impact:

Kraft caught all five of the passes thrown his way in practice, including one touchdown that prompted an emphatic spike and his chest-bumping, starfish celebration, the story went on to say. Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 last season and is looking for a contract extension, the story added. Before his injury, Kraft was on pace for a 73-catch, 1,139-yard, 14.6-touchdown season, and he comes into this year ranked fifth on our TE list.

Saints WR Jordan Tyson (hamstring) expected to miss two months

Saints rookie WR Jordyn Tyson is expected to be out roughly two months with his hamstring injury, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Fantasy Impact:

Tyson has been a standout during training camp, so it's a potential big loss at least early on for the offense, with a mid-October return looking like a possibility. Tyson, who has been consulting with experts, could begin the season on short-term Injured Reserve, according to Rapoport. Vele could move into the WR2 role after flashing at times last season coming over from the Broncos. Lance and Brown are also rookie WRs who could get a chance.

Expected to miss multiple weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Fowler went on to say, per the MRI the outcome is considered positive after a recent practice injury, even though initial reports said he'd be OK. Swift and Johnson will handle the workload until Monangai can come back and reclaim what will likely be his RB2 role before Swift.

Giants Beat: Malachi Fields has taken over as WR2

Reporter Connor Hughes said after today practice that Malachi Fields has pretty much taken over as the WR2.

Related players: Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney

Fantasy Impact:

Hughes said the coaches love Fields and he keeps making plays. The team has high expectations for Fields this season, and he's pretty much out there with Jaxon Dart all the time at practice. Nabers should be the WR1 assuming he can get back to full strength, and he was in full-speed drills today, Hughes added in the same report. It looks like Fields has already jumped over Stayton and Mooney in the pecking order, but it's something to continue to watch.
