No clear timetable for Reed
The Green Bay Packers are placing wide receiver Jayden Reed on injured reserve as he recovers from a neck injury sustained against the New York Jets in Week 2. Reed, 26, is out indefinitely, and a return this season is not assured. The move leaves Green Bay without the receiver while the length of his recovery remains unresolved. There is no firm return date for Reed, whose absence could extend through the remainder of the season.
Absence follows contract extension
The injury comes after Reed signed a three-year extension worth $50.25 million in April. His season so far consists of four receptions for 24 yards across two games, with further appearances now dependent on his recovery. Green Bay selected Reed in the second round of the 2023 draft. He has accumulated 142 career catches for 1,881 yards and 18 total touchdowns. For the Packers, the immediate development is a prolonged absence for a receiver they committed to retaining in April. For Reed, the focus remains on recovering from the neck injury.
