Overview
- Green Bay moved Jayden Reed to the 53-man roster Saturday, and he is expected to play Sunday against the NFC North-leading Bears at Lambeau Field.
- To manage the roster, the Packers released wide receiver Malik Heath and claimed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna off waivers to reinforce the line after Devonte Wyatt’s season-ending ankle injury.
- Reed had practiced since Nov. 21 under a 21-day window before receiving final medical clearance to be activated.
- Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich called Reed one of the NFL’s better slot playmakers and said his return opens more of the playbook for Jordan Love.
- Reed led Green Bay in receiving in 2023 and 2024; he logged three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown this season before his Week 2 collarbone injury and concurrent foot repair.
