The fear is a torn ACL for Tucker Kraft, per @MikeSilver. Was evident based on Matt LaFleur’s tone just now. More testing to come, but a brutal loss for the Packers.

Still waiting on an update from the Packers, but it's safe to say he probably won't be back for the rest of the game and now there is concern about a major injury.
