Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (11) catches a second quarter touchdown pass against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.

Overview

  • Green Bay activated Jayden Reed on December 6, clearing him to be available Sunday against the NFC North–leading Bears at Lambeau Field.
  • Reed had surgeries in September to repair a broken collarbone and a foot injury and returned to practice on November 21 to start the 21‑day activation window.
  • The Packers also claimed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna off waivers from the Seahawks and released wide receiver Malik Heath to finalize roster moves.
  • Coaches emphasized Reed’s impact from the slot, with offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich saying his return "opens a lot of things up" for Jordan Love and the offense.
  • Reed led Green Bay in receiving in 2023 and 2024 and had three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown this season before his Week 2 injury; he is expected to resume the starting slot role with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs outside.
