Despite not practicing just yet in training camp as he reportedly works back from a pec injury, Kraft is still around the team and gearing up to participate sooner than later.

Here's another update from ESPN's Rob Demovsky:

Kraft finished his rookie season with 355 receiving yards and 2 scores, and figures to have an increased role from the jump this season.
