Jordan Love Signals Bigger Role for Rookie WR Matthew Golden as Reed Sidelined

A two-catch start over two games puts the spotlight on his development with Jordan Love.

Overview

  • Love reviewed two narrowly missed deep shots to Golden, took responsibility for both, and said the rookie will get more opportunities.
  • Jayden Reed underwent collarbone surgery this week and also had a foot procedure, leaving him out for an extended period.
  • Golden has 2 receptions for 16 yards through two games, a modest opening to his first NFL season.
  • Packers insiders, including Packers Wire’s Zach Kruse, predict a breakout soon based on tape that shows near-misses and growth.
  • With Reed sidelined, analysts expect Golden to feature alongside Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks in a spread passing attack under Matt LaFleur.
