“Kraft is out of the tent and has his helmet on,” Demovsky reported.
While that’s a good sign for his chances of returning, USA TODAY’s Ryan Wood reports that Kraft is “walking a little gingerly” on the sideline, so that’s concerning for his chances of returning.
With the Packers dominating the Cowboys, it’s possible Green Bay will just hold Kraft out, even if he’s healthy enough to return to the game.
We’ll know more when the Packers come out for the second half.
END OF UPDATE
Kraft was being tended to on the sideline by trainers after staying down on the field. He is now getting checked out in the medical tent.
The Packers tight end took a shot to his leg and was spotted limping, but the exact injury remains unknown as of this writing.
