Kraft eyes a rep limit, Monangai's knee has managers holding their breath

Tucker Kraft is trending back for Week 1 after last year's torn ACL, but he told reporters Sunday the Packers will likely cap his snaps roughly until midseason. CapitanKampana rosters a weekly TE starter who may open the year on a workload diet — worth planning around early.

Kyle Monangai gave zmoneyballers a scare, exiting practice with a knee injury after being tackled by Grady Jarrett. Early word is the knee is structurally sound, but he then sat out Chicago's preseason win over Cleveland as a precaution. He's a bench piece behind D'Andre Swift, so the concern is real but not urgent.

Baltimore held out its top skill players against Philadelphia. Zay Flowers (zmoneyballers) is fine and expected to reprise his role as Lamar Jackson's top target. Mark Andrews (vaniano) also sat, unchanged as a bench tight end hoping for a bounce-back year.

Jacksonville did the same against New Orleans, resting Brenton Strange (Scarpg) and Parker Washington (Cmoney7), both non-events.

Chris Olave (Trotter0) and Xavier Worthy (Trotter0) sat for the Saints and Chiefs, respectively — Worthy managing a shoulder sprain but on track for Week 1.

George Kittle (zmoneyballers) says he's confident he'll avoid PUP, while Davante Adams (vaniano) rested for the Rams. Zach Charbonnet (ssbradley40) remains on PUP with no clear return timeline. Josh Downs (cplabarge) had a scare but returned to practice, and Kenneth Walker (jgianares) played all of one snap in his Chiefs debut.
