Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed sustained a neck injury during a Week 2 game against the New York Jets following a helmet-to-helmet collision with linebacker Demario Davis. Reed was carted off the field and taken off on a stretcher for evaluation and hospitalization.

Following the incident, Reed returned to Green Bay for medical testing. Head coach Matt LaFleur reported that Reed had movement in all extremities, though he noted it was “way too early” to provide a timeline for a return to play. Reed later shared on social media that he is “doing much better,” while his fiancée, Aneisha Cox, described the process as a “day-by-day type of recovery.”

Reed has been ruled out for the Packers’ game against the Falcons. To compensate for his absence in the slot, the team is looking to Skyy Moore, whom quarterback Jordan Love expressed confidence in regarding his ability to find voids in defensive coverage.

As of late September, Reed remains sidelined. Coach LaFleur stated there is currently no update regarding a specific timeline for Reed’s return. His absence is part of broader roster challenges for the Packers, who are also managing offensive line availability and other player injuries.
