The Packers placed Kraft (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kraft's move to IR was merely a formality after head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that the ascending third-year tight end sustained a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers. The Packers are expected to turn to Luke Musgrave to serve as their top pass-catching option at the position, while John FitzPatrick and the newly signed Josh Whyle round out the tight-end room.
