GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay Packers have placed their fourth-year wide receiver, Jayden Reed, on injured reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The news leaves the team without a clear explanation as to how long Reed will be sidelined, stating he could be out indefinitely, or for the remainder of the season. Reed's injury is a neck injury that he sustained during the first offensive play of the Packers' Week 2 game against the New York Jets.
Despite his struggles this season, Reed had a strong start to his career, earning 119 receptions for 1,650 yards and 14 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the team. He was drafted by the Packers in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, with the 50th overall pick. The Packers have already faced challenges this season, sitting at 1-2 in their standings.
With Reed on injured reserve, the team will be looking to bolster their roster, signing former Badger and NFL veteran Kevin Zeitler to help them in the meantime. The Packers are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a game that could help them climb closer to a .500 record.
