Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft and right tackle Zach Tom are expected to play in Sunday’s game against the host Cleveland Browns.
Both starters were deemed active by the Packers (2-0) after being listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Kraft tweaked his knee during practice on Thursday, and Tom was nursing an oblique injury after sitting out Green Bay’s 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders on Sept. 11.
As for the Browns (0-2), right tackle Jack Conklin was deemed inactive due to an elbow injury that limited him throughout the week. Cornelius Lucas will start in place of Conklin, who was considered questionable on the Friday injury report.
Left guard Joel Bitonio, however, is expected to play despite sitting out practice all week because of a back injury.
Kraft leads the team in catches (eight), receiving yards (140) and receiving touchdowns (two). He notched his first 100-yard game with six catches for 124 yards and a score against the Commanders.
Tom has started all 35 games in which he has played over the past three seasons.
While Kraft and Tom are active, the Packers listed cornerback Kamal Hadden, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings and defensive lineman Warren Brinson as inactive.
Cleveland listed quarterback Shedeur Sanders, safety Damontae Kazee, running back Raheim Sanders, cornerback Cameron Mitchell, defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. and guard Zak Zinter as inactive.
