Kraft activated off PUP ahead of schedule; doctors say knee looks better than typical one-year recovery.
Kraft was activated off the PUP list less than nine months after ACL surgery on his right knee, slightly ahead of the typical nine-month timeline. He was eased back into individual drills only. Coach Matt LaFleur said Kraft will not participate in team drills initially but will attend walk-throughs to get reacclimated to calls and alignments. GM Brian Gutekunst noted Kraft is at the 8½-month mark but "looks really, really good early," comparing his appearance to Christian Watson's return last year, though the team will remain cautious. Kraft's doctors told him his knee "looks spectacular" with post-surgical healing that appears to exceed one year of recovery, and Kraft stated his comeback is "ever-ascending day by day."
