Overview
- Reed was carted off after a helmet-to-neck hit and, on Sunday, Sept. 20, spent the night in New Jersey before returning to Green Bay for further testing.
- Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the injury is to Reed’s neck and said Reed had movement in all extremities but that it is too early to predict a return this season.
- Early reports conflicted over the injury’s description with an initial account calling it a back injury and the team subsequently listing it as a neck injury.
- Green Bay is weighing a move to injured reserve and plans to shift targets to receivers such as Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore and Bo Melton while adjustments are made to the offense.
- Reed signed a three-year, $50.25 million extension in April, his history of recent injuries raises long-term stakes, and the team says it will not rush his recovery.
