Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has declared he will no longer address questions about his “beef” with Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph, saying the issue is resolved.
The South Dakota State alum emphasized that he is now fully focused on the team’s upcoming games.
“I’m going to drop it, actually. It’s over. It’s done. Just going to move on from that. Not going to stoop down there anymore. I’m not going to talk about my opponents anymore. I’m just going to talk about us because the only thing that matters is the guys in this locker room,” Kraft said, as reported by The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman.
Before their Week 14 game against the Lions, Kraft and Joseph exchanged words after Kraft accused Joseph of being a dirty player. The Lions won the game 34-31, with Joseph mocking Kraft during his postgame interview.
Despite the loss, Kraft shined for the Packers with three receptions, 41 receiving yards, and a touchdown. He also went viral for performing a kip-up move during the third quarter, turning it into a 21-yard gain.
