Packers TE Tucker Kraft’s block on Vikings’ Jones creates debate, but no serious injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft’s low block on Patrick Jones apparently didn’t lead to any serious injury for the Minnesota Vikings edge rusher. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said Monday that he wasn’t ruling Jones out for Sunday’s game at Detroit that will determine the NFC North champion and No. “We’ll see how he works through it.” Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard went on social media to criticize Kraft’s block, which didn’t result in a penalty. NFL, get rid of this block PLEASE.” LaFleur said Kraft’s move is allowed within the rules and noted that “it’s the same thing that their guys were doing to our defensive ends.” “That’s a way to try to slow down just the speed off the edge,” LaFleur said.
