The first thing that stood out for me isn't necessarily anything we saw directly during the practices, but Matt LaFleur coming out and saying straight away that Tucker Kraft, the hope for him is to be back for training camp or early in training camp.
And honestly, Mike, the way we, all, everything we've seen, the little bit we've even watched him now doing rehab off to the side, I mean, LaFleur said it himself.
Obviously still looking to lock up that long-term deal, uh, with his rookie contract expiring after 26.
So not that he ever needed any additional motivation, but boy, it sure looks like Tucker Kraft is locked in.
... isn't it? Because we, there were so many times that we saw during practices Watson was continuing his ACL rehab off to the side and, and everybody's looking at him saying, "Yeah, he looks like he's ready to go," right?
And, uh, um, and the Packers are going to follow that with regard to Kraft just as they did with, uh, with Watson.
Um, certainly the way Watson came back last year, everything turned out quite nicely.
