Like their coach, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft and offensive lineman Zach Tom are both dealing with pectoral injuries. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that both Kraft and Tom will be out until at least the start of training camp while recovering from the new injuries.
LaFleur has been recovering from a torn pectoral suffered while bench pressing this offseason. It’s unclear how Kraft and Tom were injured, but neither participated during OTAs on Tuesday. Kraft’s arm was in a sling.
“Yeah, Tuck is going to be out until training camp,” LaFleur said. “And then hopefully he’s back by training camp, and if not, it should be early on. Just one of those unfortunate deals. “He’s on the Matt LaFleur plan.”
LaFleur confirmed there was no “long term concern” on Tom’s injury and the anticipation is he’ll be back by training camp.
“We’re all on that plan,” LaFleur said of himself, Kraft and Tom all having pec injuries. “It’s an unfortunate coincidence.”
Kraft came on as a key contributor to end his rookie season in 2023.
Tom started every game at right tackle last season. The Packers added former first-round pick Andre Dillard and 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan this offseason. Tom can play all five positions along the offensive line.
“We know what he can do at right tackle,” LaFleur said.
LaFleur also said running back Josh Jacobs is dealing with a hamstring injury. He only participated during stretch on Tuesday.
