Two Green Bay Packers standouts, right tackle Zach Tom and tight end Tucker Kraft, are not practicing during OTAs due to torn pectorals. Here is their outlook for the upcoming season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Before Zach Tom and Tucker Kraft can take the next step in their careers with the Green Bay Packers, they’ll have to battle back from torn pectorals that will sideline them for the offseason practices.Both players were injured while lifting weights.

“I had surgery about a month ago,” Tom said. “I was in the sling for a little bit. Now, we’re working our way back into it, doing some exercises. They said it was about an eight- to 12-week recovery from the date of surgery, so, hopefully, I should be back at least by mid-August.” Long gone are the days when the team’s left tackle faced the opposition’s pass rusher. The Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, the Lions’ Aidan Hutchinson, the 49ers’ Nick Bosa and the Raiders’ Maxx Crosby, who finished first through fourth among edge rushers in pressures, all rush primarily against the offense’s right tackle. Tom played them all. In five total games against those players, he allowed zero sacks and one quarterback hit.

However, when Musgrave suffered a lacerated kidney, Kraft stepped up in a big way. Over the final seven games of the regular season, Kraft among all tight ends ranked seventh with 26 receptions and ninth with 312 receiving yards. Over the final five games, he was sixth with 21 receptions and seventh with 260 yards. He added five more catches and a touchdown in the playoffs.
