Packers’ Jayden Reed Out 6–8 Weeks After Collarbone Surgery

Outside projections point to a November return window, opening snaps for rookies Matthew Golden, Savion Williams.

Overview

  • Reed broke his collarbone in the first quarter of the Week 2 win over Washington and underwent surgery, with an estimated six- to eight-week absence.
  • Sports physician Jesse Morse outlined possible return targets of Weeks 10–12 on X, which remain external projections rather than an official team timetable.
  • Green Bay is weighing slot options with Dontayvion Wicks or Savion Williams, with Malik Heath positioned for more outside work.
  • Coaches could expand Matthew Golden’s downfield role and deploy more two-tight-end sets featuring Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave.
  • Reed has led the Packers in receptions and receiving yards since 2023, yet the defense—boosted by Micah Parsons—has helped soften the short-term offensive loss.
