Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers did not actually practice on Monday. Reed's availability for the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions was up in the air as he battled a left-foot injury, but he ultimately was active in Sunday's 27-13 win and led the team with five targets, hauling in four of them for 45 yards and his first touchdown of the year. However, the 25-year-old played only 38 percent of the offensive snaps to open the year. Reed could continue to have his practice reps monitored as he works his way through a Jones fracture in his foot, but he should be able to play this Thursday night as long as he is able to practice on either Tuesday or Wednesday. If he's active Thursday, he'll be a low-upside WR4/flex for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are both officially active for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Detroit Lions. They had been listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions on Friday. Reed is coming off a decent 2024 season in which he caught 55 passes for 857 yards and seven total touchdowns, plus an additional 163 rushing yards. He's expected to operate as the Packers' No. 2 receiver alongside Matthew Golden. His versatility allows him to rank as a modest WR3/FLEX option, and he should benefit from a potentially high-scoring game against the Lions. Wicks had 39 catches, 415 yards, and five touchdowns last season, but with a decent amount of competition in the passing game, he's tough to trust in fantasy football. Reed can be left on waivers in most leagues for now.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) is expected to play in Week 1 despite being listed as questionable. The 25-year-old had been limited in each of his last two practice sessions. He's coming off a decent 2024 season in which he caught 55 passes for 857 yards and seven total touchdowns, plus an additional 163 rushing yards. He's expected to operate as the Packers' No. 2 receiver alongside Matthew Golden. His versatility allows him to rank as a modest WR3/FLEX option, and he should benefit from a potentially high-scoring game against the Detroit Lions.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday and is officially listed as questionable to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Wideouts Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) are also questionable, so the Packers receiving corps could be pretty thin to open the 2025 campaign. Christian Watson (knee) is also on Injured Reserve. Reed is dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot and apparently was hobbling around during practice the last two days, which doesn't bode well for his chances of helping fantasy managers if he's active in Week 1. As things currently stand, we'd recommend sitting Reed on your benches if he suits up on Sunday, with Romeo Doubs being a much better WR4/flex play with upside.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) is "hobbling in every video we see from practice," according to Peter Bukowski of Locked on Packers. Reed is reportedly dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot that he plans to play through. After not practicing on Wednesday, Reed reportedly practiced on both Thursday and Friday and is expected to play in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old may see a limited snap share on Sunday as the team manages the injury, so he's a difficult player to project for fantasy managers. Most likely, Reed is a boom/bust WR4/flex option who will finish behind fellow Packers' wideouts Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs in targets this week.
Sep 5, 2025 3:45 PM EST
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) to practice again on Friday, although he could be limited for the second straight day, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Reed is battling through a Jones fracture and did not take part in the first practice of the week, but he was upgraded to limited on Thursday, giving him a shot to play in Week 1 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. It sounds as though Jones might not be able to be a full-go on Friday, though, suggesting he could draw a questionable tag for the regular-season opener this Sunday. Still, the 25-year-old has a shot to be active this weekend. If Reed does suit up, his reps could be limited, making him an even bigger boom/bust risk as a WR4/flex in fantasy lineups. If he's out, Romeo Doubs would become a more attractive flex.
Sep 5, 2025 1:06 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's unclear if Reed was limited or a full participant, but the fact that he's on the field at all is good news for his chances of playing in the Week 1 season opener this Sunday against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old is working his way through a Jones fracture in his left foot and was listed as a DNP on the first injury report of the year. With all that said, even if Reed is able to suit up this weekend, there's a chance he'll be somewhat limited if he's still not 100 percent. Already a boom/bust fantasy wideout, especially after the addition of first-round rookie Matthew Golden, Reed would be a shaky WR4/flex starting fantasy option against Detroit. It's most likely that Reed will end up listed as limited on Thursday's final report.
Sep 4, 2025 1:31 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) is the only player on the roster who is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Reed had taken part in the past few practices after returning from a foot injury that had him in a walking boot during training camp, but he was seen standing on the sideline on Wednesday. He told Wood last week that his availability for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Detroit Lions was uncertain. The 25-year-old is dealing with a Jones fracture in his left foot and is trending as a very risky starting lineup option right now for fantasy managers in Week 1. Reed is going to need to get back on the practice field later this week to have a chance of suiting up. If he's available against Detroit, he will be an even more boom/bust WR4/flex.
Sep 3, 2025 3:08 PM EST
According to Jason Wilde, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) has been diagnosed with a Jones fracture. While this type of fracture is common in athletics, it typically requires surgery. However, the Packers wideout has "no interest" in this extended timeline and plans to play through the injury. Reed noted that he has been focusing on resting his foot to ensure he is ready for their season opener against the Detroit Lions. Throughout August, the wide receiver has been seen wearing a boot on his left foot. While he has recently returned to practice, fantasy managers should expect the 25-year-old's workload to be closely monitored. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation closely in case of a setback. If he were to miss time, rookie Matthew Golden and tight end Tucker Kraft would likely see the most significant increase in targets.
Aug 28, 2025 8:11 AM EST
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that he's "hopeful" that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will be ready for the team's Week 1 contest against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7. Reed is "trending the right way." The 25-year-old has been dealing with a lingering foot injury this summer, and although he has yet to return to practice, he did ditch his walking boot and should be able to play in the regular-season opener if he gets back on the practice field next week. Green Bay's receiving corps is especially banged up going into the season, with Christian Watson (knee) on the PUP list and Romeo Doubs (back) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) also dealing with nagging issues. When healthy, Reed can score on the ground or through the air anytime he touches the ball, but injuries and inconsitent usage have made him a boom/bust WR4/flex fantasy asset.
Aug 27, 2025 3:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) threw to wide receivers Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) after the team's practice on Tuesday, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Reed and Wicks weren't running routes, but they were lining up at distances where Love might have to put the ball if they had been running routes. The 25-year-old Reed ditched his walking boot late last week but hasn't returned to training camp practices and did not play in the second preseason game on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Not only is Love recovering from surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb, but Reed, Wicks, Romeo Doubs (back) and Christian Watson (knee) are all injured with the regular-season opener just several weeks away. Reed has become a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy with injury concerns.
Aug 19, 2025 3:16 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) was seen out of his walking boot on Thursday, but the third-year wideout is still not participating in practice. Reed is dealing with a sprained foot, and it's unclear if it will affect his Week 1 availability. The Packers' wide receiver room is dealing with several injuries during training camp, as Romeo Doubs, Savion Williams, Dontayvion Wicks, and Christian Watson are all out of action. First-round rookie Matthew Golden stands to benefit from extra opportunities in their absences. Reed remains a viable flex option for fantasy football, but it appears he is trending toward being relegated to three-WR sets once again in 2025.
Aug 14, 2025 3:20 PM EST
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he's "hopeful" that wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will be ready for Week 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The third-year wideout was seen in a walking boot during the team's preseason game on Saturday and is known to be dealing with a sprained foot. In 17 games last season for Green Bay, Reed caught 55 passes for 857 yards and six touchdowns. He's expected to play a key role in the Packers' offense alongside fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden. If Reed were to miss time, it could open more opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks and Savion Williams to earn playing time in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the New York Jets. Reed has been banged up early in training camp, so the Packers decided to be cautious and rest Reed on Saturday. It's worth noting that Reed was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot during Saturday's game. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a foot and toe injury, so the walking boot isn't a shocker. At the moment, fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Reed's status heading into Week 1. There is still plenty of time for Reed to get ready to play. At the moment, Reed's foot injury is being viewed as a minor issue, but fantasy managers should keep checking back for updates.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice, according to Packers beat writer Wes Hodkiewicz. Reed has missed time this summer with a toe injury as well, but the foot injury is a new one and bears watching going forward. Wicks, meanwhile, has been managing a calf injury since late July. Neither pass-catcher is likely to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener versus the New York Jets. Reed's injuries don't seem serious, and he was working in two-receiver sets in camp before getting hurt. The 25-year-old was on his way to a huge year in 2024 before seeing his usage tail off late in the year. Still, he's shown a nose for the end zone (14 touchdowns in two years) while being a boom/bust big-play wideout as a WR4/flex in fantasy. Reed could have a bigger role early in 2025 with Christian Watson (knee) out.
Aug 7, 2025 2:31 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed worked solely as a slot receiver during Saturday's practice. Instead, Matthew Golden, Malik Heath, and Romeo Doubs saw a majority of the snaps from wideout. Reed only saw 10 snaps during the entire practice, but it's also worth noting he has been dealing with a toe issue. Possibly, the Packers wanted to take the cautious approach here. Reed is most impactful when he is coming out of the slot. His target volume took a step back whenever he'd line up as the No. 1 or No. 2 wideout on the field. This is something to keep an eye on throughout training camp.
Aug 3, 2025 9:58 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed did not participate with the team during their Family Night event on Saturday. Instead, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath served as the primary wideouts. It's worth noting that Reed has been dealing with a toe issue during training camp. He missed Friday's practice due to the injury, so there's a good chance that his absence was rest related. Fantasy managers shouldn't be bothered by his absence here, but should stay tuned in case he misses more time.
Aug 3, 2025 8:46 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (toe) is practicing at training camp on Friday and made an amazing catch during 11-on-11 drills, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Reed suffered a minor toe injury in practice on Thursday but has returned the very next day, so he should be just fine moving forward as a key piece in Green Bay's passing attack with Christian Watson (knee) potentially missing half the 2025 season. The 25-year-old former second-rounder in 2023 was looking great in the first half of last year before slowing down in the second half, and he finished with a 55-857-6 line while adding 20 carries for 163 yards and another score in 17 regular-season games (10 starts). If Reed can get more playing time in two-receiver sets in his third year, he will absolutely be worth rostering as a WR3/4 given his efficiency and big-play ability.
Aug 1, 2025 1:16 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed worked with the starters in two-WR sets during practice on Monday, according to Andy Herman of the Pack-A-Day podcast. That's a rarity for Reed, who totaled a meager 33 snaps in two-receiver sets during his first two seasons in the league. Despite somewhat limited usage, the former second-round pick from Michigan State still averaged around 60 catches, 85 targets, 825 yards, and seven touchdowns from 2023-24. While Reed does have issues with drops (he had 10 last year), he'd have significant upside if he were to accrue more snaps opposite Romeo Doubs. One potential problem for Reed is that the role may go to Matthew Golden, Green Bay's first-round pick in this year's draft.
Jul 28, 2025 3:37 PM EST
Green Bay Packers passing-game coordinator Jason Vrable said that wide receiver Jayden Reed is up to 199 pounds (up from 185 as a rookie) and has been one of the leaders of the receiver group this offseason. Vrable said that Reed has been "helping Matthew Golden with every single play." The 25-year-old was on pace for his first 1,000-yard season in 2024 in his sophomore campaign in the first half before fading down the stretch and then suffering a dislocated shoulder in the wild-card playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the team adding Golden and Savion Williams in this year's draft, the Packers still view Reed as their "top receiver." However, until we see it, the slot wideout's volume could be volatile, even with Christian Watson (knee) potentially miss half the season. Reed has the potential for a breakout, but he should be viewed as a boom/bust WR3/flex.
