Jayden Reed, wide receiver for the Packers, undergoes surgery on his clavicle and foot
Green Bay Packers Wideout Jayden Reed Recovers from Surgeries, Set to Miss Six to Eight Weeks
Jayden Reed, a key wideout for the Green Bay Packers, is currently recovering from surgeries on a broken clavicle and a Jones fracture in his left foot. The injuries, sustained in the first quarter of the season-opening win over the Detroit Lions and in the preseason, respectively, will keep Reed sidelined for six to eight weeks.
In the season opener, Reed caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown, a potential game-changing play that was negated by a holding penalty. The touchdown would have put the Packers on the board first. Unfortunately, Reed suffered the injury while extending to make a 39-yard catch.
While Reed is recuperating, Green Bay has options in the passing game. Wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie Matthew Golden, as well as tight end Tucker Kraft, are expected to fill the void left by Reed's absence.
In Week 2, Reed did not record a catch before exiting the game. However, he remains optimistic about the Packers' season, stating on Instagram Live from his hospital bed, "I'm good, thank you for the prayers, bruh," and adding that the Packers (2-0) are still going "to the (Super) Bowl."
Reed has played in 35 games for the Packers, amassing 122 career receptions for 1,695 yards and 15 touchdowns. His contributions to the team will be missed, but the Packers are confident in their ability to adapt and continue their successful start to the season.
Green Bay will play its first road game of the season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns (0-2). The team will undoubtedly be looking to maintain their winning streak and continue their journey towards the playoffs, despite the temporary loss of Reed.
