The Athletic reports that Kraft could play Sunday, but how he performs in Friday's practice could impact his status.
Tucker Kraft only "tweaked" his knee and could still play Sunday against the Browns, sources tell me and @DMRussini. Nothing definitive about Sunday in Cleveland, as how Kraft feels tomorrow will be important.
