Overview
- Green Bay activated Jayden Reed from injured reserve on Saturday, and he is in uniform Sunday for his first game since a Week 2 collarbone injury and foot surgery.
- Reed resumed practice on Nov. 21, starting a 21-day evaluation window that preceded his return to the 53-man roster.
- To create a roster spot, the Packers released wide receiver Malik Heath and also claimed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna off waivers to reinforce the line after Devonte Wyatt’s season-ending ankle injury.
- Reed led the Packers in receiving in 2023 and 2024 and gives the offense a proven slot playmaker who can expand Adam Stenavich’s playbook.
- Reed, linebacker Quay Walker and rookie receiver Matthew Golden are active against Chicago, which is without receiver Rome Odunze, with the NFC North lead at stake.
