Packers Keep Jayden Reed on Injured Reserve, Delay Opening Practice Window

Medical clearance remains the hurdle after Reed’s uniform photo raised expectations of a return.

Overview

  • Head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday the 21-day return window will not be opened for Reed, with no timetable set.
  • Reed posted a photo of himself in full Packers gear on X, fueling fan speculation that he is close to playing.
  • Reed has been out since Week 2 with a surgically repaired broken clavicle and also had surgery to fix a Jones fracture in his foot.
  • Under NFL IR rules, once the team opens his practice window, Green Bay will have three weeks to activate him or he must remain on IR.
  • Reporting indicates a Week 12 appearance is unlikely, and his eventual return would boost a receiving corps he led in catches in 2023 and 2024.
