Reed set career highs in rec yds (89), YAC (44), and YACOE (+21) in the first half in Week 17 (2 TD)

Jayden Reed has gained 343 yards on targets over 10 air yards when aligned in the slot (3rd in NFL)

Four catches in divisional round

Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers. He added one rush for nine yards.

Analysis: The Packers had all of their top pass-catching options available, so targets were spread widely. That limited Reed's volume, and he was also primarily limited to opportunity in the short areas of the field, with the exception being a 29-yard catch deep down the right sideline early in the second quarter. After ending the regular season as the team's most productive pass catcher, Reed was overshadowed by Romeo Doubs in the postseason and was shut out from the stat sheet in the wild-card round.…read more

Ready for Saturday

Reed (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round contest in San Francisco, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Reed has tended to a chest injury most weeks since Week 12, but he's sat out only one time in the last eight games. In seven appearances during that stretch, he hauled in 32 of 46 targets for 330 yards, had six carries for 54 yards and scored five total touchdowns. With his status cleared ahead of the weekend, Green Bay's receiving corps will be intact Saturday after Christian Watson (hamstring) also avoided a game-day designation on the team's final injury report.

Limited in practice

Reed (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Analysis: Reed was also listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report, so the wideout will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Saturday's divisional-round playoff game against the 49ers. In Green Bay's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys this past Sunday, Reed logged 26 of 56 snaps on offense and was held without a catch on three targets.

Still dealing with chest injury

The Packers listed Reed (chest) as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Reed suffered a chest injury in Green Bay's Week 17 victory over the Vikings, and he has subsequently drawn back-to-back questionable tags that he ultimately played through. He served mainly as a decoy in the Packers' wild-card win over the Cowboys, as he failed to record a catch on three targets. The rookie pass catcher has plenty of competition for looks from Jordan Love, so if he's not 100 percent Reed may not make an impact during Saturday's divisional-round game in San Francisco, either.

Shut out Sunday

Reed was targeted three times but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Reed ended the regular season on a hot streak, but he served mainly as a decoy Sunday with the Packers and quarterback Jordan Love simply taking what the Dallas defense was giving them. Reed still finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, and even with Green Bay having all its pass catchers available, he remains a high-upside option after scoring 10 times between Weeks 2 and 18.

First 100-yard game

Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Bears.

Analysis: Reed entered the game having at least eight targets in three straight games, so he took a step back from a volume perspective. However, he used lengthy catches of 59 and 32 yards to post the first 100-yard game of his career despite the limited opportunity. Reed entered the contest dealing with a chest injury, but assuming he's able to suit up in a wild-card round matchup against the Cowboys, he's a good bet to lead the receiving corps once again. He concludes his first regular season with 793…read more

Playing in Week 18

Reed (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Since showing up on the Packers' Week 12 practice report with a chest injury, Reed also has dealt with ankle, toe and rib issues. During the ensuing six-game stretch, he sat out Week 16 due to the toe concern but still posted 28 catches (on 39 targets) for 218 yards and four touchdowns and turned six carries into 54 yards and one more score in the other five contests. The Packers are looking to hold on to the No. 7 seed in the NFC, and while Reed and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are giving it a go…read more

Questionable for Week 18

Reed (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Reed was listed with a chest injury for much of December but missed a game Week 16 with a toe issue. He returned for Week 17 and caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns before halftime but then left in the second quarter (and didn't return) with a chest/rib injury. The Packers listed Reed as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, and with a playoff spot on the line it won't be surprising if he suits up even if that means playing through pain. The Packers have a…read more

Still limited Thursday

Reed (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Analysis: Though Reed wasn't able to return to this past Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings after suffering a chest injury in the second quarter, his limited listings on the Packers' first two Week 18 injury reports inspires hope that he'll be back on the field for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears. Whether Reed approaches that contest with a designation will likely hinge on him upgrading to full activity at Friday's practice. If Reed remains limited Friday, he'll most likely be listed as…read more

Limited to begin Week 18 prep

Reed (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Analysis: Reed made an early exit from this past Sunday's win at Minnesota due to a chest injury, but not before putting up six catches (on eight targets) for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Following the game, he had X-rays in his ribs, which returned negative. Reed confirmed as much Wednesday, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that he feels "pretty good." Still, the overly cautious Packers likely will continue to place practice restrictions on Reed as the week goes on with an aim toward having him…read more

Seen at practice Wednesday

Reed (chest) was present at practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Prior to exiting the Packers' Week 17 win in Minnesota at halftime, Reed was cooking to the tune of six catches (on eight targets) for 89 yards and two touchdowns. While the listed reason for his departure was a chest injury -- something that he's been dealing with since Week 12 prep -- he subsequently underwent X-rays on his ribs Monday that returned negative. Green Bay's upcoming injury report will reveal how much work, if any, Reed was able to handle Wednesday.

X-rays return negative

Reed had X-rays on his ribs return negative, but he'll undergo further testing Monday and remains "pretty sore," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Reed enjoyed the best performance of his career in Sunday's victory versus Minnesota, catching six of eight targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns. All of that production came in the first half, as a chest injury kept him from returning to action after halftime. The results of additional tests as well as Reed's practice activity during Week 18 prep are worth monitoring, as he appears to be in some danger of missing Sunday's key clash against Chicago.

Undergoes imaging on chest

Reed underwent CT scans on his chest following Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Reed delivered six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of Sunday's win. He was unable to play in the final two quarters due to the injury, and his availability for a pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Bears is currently unclear.

Won't return against Vikings

Reed (chest) will not return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Reed was not spotted on the sideline coming out of the locker room for the second half and has now been ruled out. Prior to exiting, he delivered six receptions for 89 yards and two scores, helping the Packers build an extensive lead over their division rival. Reed will now turn his attention to a pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Bears.

Won't return against Vikings

Reed (chest) will not return to Sunday's game against the Vikings, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Reed was not spotted on the sideline coming out of the locker room for the second half and has now been ruled out. Prior to exiting, he delivered six receptions for 89 yards and two scores, helping the Packers build an extensive lead over their division rival. Reed will now turn his attention to a pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Bears.

Exits with chest injury

Reed left Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a chest injury.

Analysis: Reed was in the midst of putting together his best performance of the season prior to the Packers deeming him questionable to return at the start of the third quarter. On eight targets, he'd hauled in six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns (33 and 25 yards). Considering Green Bay already is down Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) on Sunday, the receiving corps has been whittled down to Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton.

Cleared for Sunday night

Reed (toe/chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Meanwhile, WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is doubtful, and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) is listed as questionable but appears less than 50/50 to play. Reed has been a key part of Green Bay's passing game in any case, and he and Romeo Doubs figure to be the two top options for Jordan Love come Sunday night. Reed's chest injury has been lingering for a while without threatening his availability, whereas the toe injury forced him to the inactive list for last week's 33-30 win at Carolina.

Limited Thursday

Reed (toe/chest) was limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: Reed received the same listing on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to the pair of injuries that have impacted his on-field reps since Week 12 prep. The toe issue forced the rookie second-round pick to miss this past Sunday's game in Carolina, but he seems to be closing in on active status again, which could be revealed as soon as the Packers post their final injury report of the week Friday. Meanwhile, Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) have yet to mix into…read more

Officially limited Wednesday

Reed (toe/chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Among the Packers' banged-up wide receivers, Reed was the only one to log any on-field work to begin Week 17 prep, while Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) went down as non-participants. Reed wasn't able to practice at all last week before being inactive this past Sunday in Carolina, so he's in a better spot on the health front as this weekend's game in Minnesota approaches.

Returns to practice Wednesday

Reed (toe/chest) took part in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: After failing to practice at all last week due to a toe injury suffered Week 15, Reed was unsurprisingly included on the Packers' inactive list ahead of this past Sunday's win at Carolina. Fellow wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was ruled out with a chest issue in the second half of that contest and was listed as a non-participant Wednesday along with Christian Watson (hamstring), who hasn't played since Week 13.

Sitting out in Week 16

Reed (toe/chest) is listed as inactive Sunday at Carolina, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Reed has been banged up the last five weeks with a variety of injuries, with a toe issue not allowing him to practice during Week 16 prep. Despite carrying a questionable designation into the weekend, he'll join fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) in street clothes Sunday. The Packers thus will roll with Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton at the position.

Listed as questionable for Week 16

Reed (toe) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Reed was outside with his teammates for Friday's practice but ultimately didn't participate, marking his third consecutive absence following a late exit from a 34-20 loss to Tampa Bay in Week 15. With Christian Watson (hamstring) listed as doubtful and his replacement (Dontayvion Wicks) now questionable due to an ankle injury, the Packers have just Romeo Doubs at full strength among their top four options at wide receiver. It's still possible both Reed and Wicks play, in which case they'd form…read more

Doesn't practice Thursday

Reed (toe/chest) didn't practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Reed has been playing through a chest injury the last four games, but an ankle issue also impacted his practice reps last week, and now a toe injury appears to be the primary concern during Week 16 prep. With just one more chance for him and Christian Watson (hamstring) to practice by week's end, the Packers may be in danger of being down two of their top four wide receivers Sunday in Carolina. Friday's injury report may seal their fate for that contest.

Starts week with practice absence

Reed (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Reed dealt with chest and ankle injuries earlier this month, but it was a different injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter. An absence from practice to start the week suggests he's in at least some danger of missing this Sunday's game at Carolina.

Hurts toe Sunday

Reed suffered a toe injury during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Prior to his departure late in the fourth quarter, Reed had hauled in six of eight targets for 52 yards and one touchdown. Considering Christian Watson (hamstring) and Samori Toure (coach's decision) are inactive, the Packers are left with Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Malik Heath and Bo Melton at wide receiver.

Set to play Sunday

Reed (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: After dealing with a chest injury during preparation for Weeks 12-14, Reed operated with a cap on his reps this week due to an ankle issue. It won't stop him from suiting up Sunday, though, and he likely won't have to contend with fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring, doubtful) for reps this weekend. Rookie WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also is questionable for Week 15, leaving Reed, Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure as the healthy options at the position on the Packers'…read more

Logs limited session Thursday

Reed (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Analysis: After beginning Week 15 prep as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Reed had a cap on his reps during the limited time the Packers were on the field Thursday. His activity level at Friday's longer session thus will be key for his potential to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. With Christian Watson (hamstring) not practicing for a second week in a row, Reed may have a bigger role than normal this weekend if he's able to play through his current ankle…read more

Dealing with ankle issue

Reed was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: For the previous three weeks of game prep, Reed tended to a chest injury, but he's dealing with a new health concern to kick off Week 15 prep. He at least seems to be healthier than fellow wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), both of whom were listed as non-participants Wednesday. The next two days of practice likely will determine who among the trio will join Romeo Doubs, Malik Heath and Samori Toure as the Packers' options at receiver Sunday versus the…read more

Garners 12 touches Monday

Reed brought in eight of his 10 targets for 27 yards and rushed four times for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night.

Analysis: Reed led the Packers in receptions and targets on the night while also serving as the team's second-most productive rusher. The rookie struck for his second rushing touchdown of the season on a 16-yard run late in the first quarter, and he built up to a new career best in receptions with constant short catches throughout the night. Reed's overall volume is certainly very encouraging for fantasy managers entering the postseason in their leagues, and it gives the 2023 second-round pick a nice…read more

No injury designation for Monday

Reed (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Giants, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Analysis: Reed was a limited participant in practice all week, but that was evidently enough to escape an injury designation Saturday. Christian Watson (hamstring) was predictably ruled out ahead of Monday's contest, which means Reed will likely be relied on to stretch the field and make explosive plays, something he did reliably in the beginning of the season. The rookie has tallied at least four receptions in all but one game dating back to Week 7, but he's averaging just 11.2 yards per reception after…read more

Logs another limited practice

Reed (chest) was a limited practice participant Friday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Analysis: Reed likely will play through the injury for a third straight week, and this time he may do so without Christian Watson (hamstring) in the lineup commanding targets. There's still some cause for concern -- even in a friendly matchup against a porous Giants secondary -- as Reed played fewer snaps than usual last week (47 percent) and wouldn't automatically garner a dramatic increase in playing time in Watson's absence. Reed has taken 65 percent of his snaps from the slot this season, whereas…read more

Still dealing with chest injury

Reed (chest) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Analysis: For a third consecutive week, Reed's on-field work is being impacted by chest soreness, but he's still been able to suit up for the Packers' last two games, reeling in eight of 13 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown and notching two carries for 16 yards during that stretch. With Christian Watson's status up in the air for Week 14 due to a new hamstring injury, Reed may be in line for increased volume from quarterback Jordan Love alongside Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath.

Targeted five times on SNF

Reed (chest) caught four of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over Kansas City.

Analysis: Reed overcame a nagging chest injury for the second week in a row in order to suit up against the Chiefs on Sunday. The versatile rookie finished without a touchdown or rushing attempt for the first time since Week 8, highlighting his useful production over that span. Reed still garnered five targets despite Sunday's meager fantasy production, keeping him relevant in deeper formats for next Monday's tilt against the Giants.

Active in Week 13

Reed (chest) is listed as active Sunday versus the Chiefs, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Reed has been dealing with a chest injury for two weeks in a row, but it won't stop him from suiting up on either occasion despite being capped at one limited session (Friday) during Week 13 prep. He thus should slot into his typical role as one of the Packers' top three wide receivers alongside Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs. Reed has been in a nice groove over the last five games, gathering in 20 of 28 targets for 266 yards and two touchdowns and turning six carries into 83 yards and…read more

In line to play Sunday

Reed (chest), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, is trending toward playing, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Analysis: According to Schultz, Reed is scheduled to go through a pregame workout as a final check of his health, but the expectation is that he'll avoid the Packers' Week 13 inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The rookie wideout has seen an uptick in involvement in the passing game of late, having accrued a 13-164-2 receiving line on 19 targets while also carrying five times for 62 yards and another score over Green Bay's last three games.

Questionable for Week 13

Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Reed (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Reed opened Week 13 prep with back-to-back absences due to a chest injury that has lingered since a Week 11 win against the Chargers, but his return to the field in some capacity Friday has him in a position to miss no game action as a result. He was able to play through the issue during the Packers' win in Detroit on Thanksgiving, hauling in four of eight targets for 34 yards and one touchdown and taking two carries for 16 yards. Reed's availability won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes…read more

Returns to practice

Reed (chest) returned to practice Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After back-to-back missed practices, Reed's return at the end of the week seemingly gives him a shot to play Sunday night against the Chiefs. He's still only third among Packers WRs in snaps and routes most weeks -- behind Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson -- but the rookie nonetheless is averaging 5.4 targets per game and took five carries the past two weeks (in addition to 14 targets).

Still not practicing

Reed (chest) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Reed missed Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Chiefs. If Reed is unavailable this weekend, Dontayvion Wicks (knee), Malik Heath and Samori Toure would be candidates for added Week 13 WR snaps.

Still dealing with chest issue

Reed didn't practice Wednesday due to a chest injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Last Tuesday, the Packers added Reed to their injury report as a limited participant due to the same issue. He was upgraded to a full participant Wednesday and didn't take an injury designation into the Packers' Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Lions. He proceeded to gather in four of eight targets for 34 yards and one touchdown and took two carries for 16 yards in the 29-22 win. Reed will have two more opportunities this week to get back to all on-field work before the team potentially tags…read more

Finds end zone again Thursday

Reed caught four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown and added 16 rushing yards on two carries in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.

Analysis: While it wasn't the most efficient performance, Reed scored a TD for the third straight game, opening the scoring on Green Bay's first possession with a 10-yard strike from Jordan Love. The 2023 second-round pick has totaled 226 scrimmage yards over his three-game touchdown streak, and with the Packers committed to getting him the ball in a variety of ways, Reed appears poised for a big finish to the season.

In clear for Thursday's game

Reed (chest) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest at Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Reed showed up suddenly on Tuesday's report as a limited practice participant due to a chest injury, which head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stemmed from the wideout feeling soreness that become a bigger issue as the week went on. The injury didn't affect Reed during Wednesday's walk-through session, and he'll now be available Thursday to take on a Lions defense that has given up the fifth-most touchdowns (12) to opposing wide receivers in 10 games…read more

Tending to chest injury

Reed was added to the Packers' Week 12 practice report Tuesday as limited due to a chest injury.

Analysis: Head coach Matt LaFleur elaborated on Reed's status, telling Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday that the rookie wide receiver reported soreness in his chest after Sunday's win against the Chargers and that it had become a bigger issue as of Tuesday, putting Reed's availability for Thursday's road game against the Lions in question. As for the rest of Green Bay's receiving options, Christian Watson (shoulder) was listed as a full participant Tuesday, while Dontayvion…read more

Leads Green Bay in rushing

Reed caught four of six targets for 46 yards and rushed three times for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Reed's day was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown on an end around to begin the second quarter. With the help of that score, the rookie actually led the Packers in rushing yards Sunday, when top tailback Aaron Jones went down with a knee injury. If Jones is sidelined going forward, Reed could continue to see occasional carries on motion plays from his wideout position, where he entered Sunday leading the team in receiving yards.

Leads Packers in receiving

Reed caught all five of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: Reed turned in an excellent performance, pacing Green Bay in both catches and receiving yards. His totals included a 35-yard touchdown during the second quarter, as well as a 46-yard grab on the final drive of the day that helped put the Packers in scoring position. Although the Packers' offensive inconsistencies impact Reed's stock, he's now topped 80 yards in two of his last three outings, continuing a quality rookie campaign.

Limited in easy win

Reed had three receptions for 19 yards and one carry for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over the Rams.

Analysis: The Packers leaned heavily on the ground game in Sunday's comfortable win, which resulted in their tight ends all spending extra time on the field and Reed playing fewer than 40 percent of the snaps for the first time in his rookie season. Green Bay's next opponent, Pittsburgh, has been pretty friendly to receivers over the course of the campaign, so Reed will have a chance to bounce back in Week 10 -- particularly if fellow wideout Christian Watson is out or limited after sustaining several…read more

Leading receiver in loss

Reed caught four of six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: The 2023 second-round pick was the Packers' leading receiving on the day in terms of yardage, although Romeo Doubs (nine) and Christian Watson (eight) both saw more targets and AJ Dillon caught more passes (five). Reed also set a new career high with the 83-yard performance, and he appears to have held onto a significant role in the passing game since Watson's Week 4 return to the lineup. Green Bay's passing game as a whole could be poised for a breakout in Week 9 against a Rams defense that…read more

Tallies third touchdown

Reed was targeted four times and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

Analysis: Reed technically was not the intended recipient of his touchdown, as he hauled in a pass that was deflected by teammate Romeo Doubs. However, in the box score he was credited with both the target and his first touchdown since Week 2. Reed briefly left Sunday's game with a shin injury, but he returned and wound up playing just under 50 percent of the plays run by Green Bay's offense. With Christian Watson coming out of Sunday's loss with another knee issue, Reed could see his role increase once…read more

Back in Sunday's game

Reed (shin) returned to Sunday's game in Denver, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Analysis: Reed made his way to sideline slowly after making a five-yard catch in the last minute of the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return. After halftime, he was able to do so, rejoining Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Samori Toure as the Packers' available wide receivers.

Dealing with shin injury

Reed departed Sunday's game at Denver in the second quarter due to a shin injury.

Analysis: Reed appeared to get hurt on a five-yard catch just before halftime. With Malik Heath a healthy scratch Sunday, the Packers' other available wide receivers are Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Samori Toure.

Snap count takes hit

Reed was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Monday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: Reed's snap-count percentage increased in each of Weeks 2-4, but with fellow wideout Christian Watson handling essentially a full workload Monday for the first time this season, Reed's usage took a noticeable dip. He did work as Green Bay's third receiver behind Watson and Romeo Doubs, but in that role he will have a tough time matching the numbers he put up over the first month of the season.

Game-long catch in loss

Reed brought in three of five targets for 55 yards in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay and returned one punt for no gain.

Analysis: The highlight of the speedy rookie's night was a game-long 44-yard grab, which accounted for the majority of the wideout's production. Reed still saw a solid target total in what was Christian Watson's season debut -- in fact, he outpaced the latter by one in that category -- an encouraging development with respect to his potential involvement moving forward. Reed has already developed plenty of chemistry with Jordan Love, and he'll have a chance to continue building that rapport ahead of a…read more

Inconsistent in Week 3

Reed caught three of seven targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Saints.

Analysis: Reed, who scored twice in Week 2, failed to secure a pair of would-be touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Despite those disappointments, though, the rookie rallied to make a fantastic, diving catch for a 30-yard gain to set up Green Bay's winning score. With a new high in single-game yardage to boot, Reed continues to flash playmaking potential, which should keep him regularly involved whether or not Christian Watson (hamstring) returns for Week 4's Thursday night game against the Lions.

Scores twice versus Falcons

Reed caught four of eight targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.

Analysis: Reed scored his first career touchdown on a nine-yard push pass during the first quarter. He then capped a drive that saw him make a few receptions with a 10-yard touchdown during the third quarter. With top wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined thus far, Reed has provided a nice playmaking element to Green Bay's offense that should see him remain involved as the third receiver even if Watson returns in Week 3 versus the Saints.

Encouraging NFL debut

Reed caught two of five targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Bears. He also rushed once for a two-yard loss.

Analysis: Reed was rocked on his first touch, an option pitch he did well to hold onto. Afterward, though, he made a couple key catches on third downs and showed some shiftiness in the open field by totaling 54 yards on three punt returns. While he briefly exited with cramps late in the game, Reed ultimately returned to recover an attempted onside kick. Overall, it was an eventful debut for the rookie second-rounder, who'll now turn his attention toward Week 2's trip to Atlanta, when top wideout…read more

Returns to game in Chicago

Reed (cramps) returned to Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Reed briefly exited after cramping in the fourth quarter, but he reentered the game with the Packers' hands team as the Bears attempted an onside kick. The 2023 second-round pick from Michigan State has two catches for 48 yards on five targets in his NFL debut.

Two catches before cramping

Reed (cramps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Chicago.

Analysis: With the Packers comfortably leading late, the rookie wide receiver's NFL debut is likely done, but cramps shouldn't affect Reed's availability moving forward. The 2023 second-round pick out of Michigan State caught two of five targets for 48 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards prior to getting hurt in the fourth quarter. Reed couldn't put weight on his right foot as he was being helped off the field, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Gets two touches

Reed caught one of three targets for seven yards and took a carry for nine yards in Saturday's 19-15 preseason win over Seattle.

Analysis: The second-round pick got his carry on the opening drive and saw all three of his targets on the third and final drive for the first-team offense. Reed figures to be at least the No. 3 receiver when the Packers open their season at Chicago in Week 1, with the potential to move up a spot if Romeo Doubs' hamstring injury lingers.

Catches first preseason TD

Reed took his lone reception (two targets) for a 19-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to New England.

Analysis: Reed followed up his two-catch debut last week with his first touchdown as a pro on Saturday. It was also the Packers' first touchdown of the game, as the second-round selection continues to see some reps with the first-team offense. Reed will likely wind up occupying the third receiver/slot role behind Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs to begin the year, but the Michigan State product is making a case for more targets with his strong play early on.
