Key points include Kraft’s emergence before his ACL tear in Week 9 and his potential for a breakout season if healthy, especially as the offense may rely more on him with the departure of receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. On defense, Parsons’ 2025 production—41 tackles, 12.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 14 games—highlighted his importance to the unit, which struggled with consistent pressure after his injury. The Packers are banking on a healthy Parsons to anchor the defense and help sustain a Super Bowl-contending effort.
Key Takeaways
– Kraft and Parsons are both on track to return early in the season, providing meaningful impact on offense and defense.
– Kraft’s potential increased targets could shape the Packers’ 2026 passing game, given changes at wide receiver.
– Parsons’ health is critical to re-establishing pass rush efficiency and overall defensive stoutness.
