The Tucker Kraft injury scare was short-lived.

The Green Bay Packers tight end is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after suffering a knee injury in practice earlier this week, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported.

Kraft tweaked his left knee during Thursday's practice and did not participate in Friday's session leading to a questionable injury designation.

Saturday's news follows earlier reports that Kraft's knee checked out OK following Thursday's injury, and Jordan Love will have one of his key targets as Green Bay looks to improve to 3-0 on the young season.

Kraft has emerged as one of the Packers' most explosive pass catchers, logging six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay's Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders.

In other news, the Packers placed wide receiver Jayden Reed (fractured collarbone) on injured reserve.
