It was almost the perfect night as the Green Bay Packers made a statement with a victory over the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football<\/em>. Unfortunately, head coach Matt LaFleur delivered the worst possible injury update on Jayden Reed in his postgame press conference.<\/p>\n

Reed exited the game after landing awkwardly on his shoulder in the first quarter. LaFleur confirmed that the Packers’ star wide receiver will miss significant time with a broken collarbone.<\/p>\n

“He’s going to miss a lot of time, unfortunately. He broke his collarbone. He’ll be down for quite some time,” said LaFleur. “We’ll see how fast he can recover and heal. Certainly, I would expect him back at some point this season.”<\/p>\n

Packers will need to adjust after Jayden Reed suffers significant injury in Week 2<\/h2>\n

It’s a heartbreaking update for Reed, who was already battling through a foot injury.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, it’s a big blow for us,” said LaFleur. “He’s a guy that’s a catalyst for our offense and our football team, quite frankly. The energy he brings. He’s a dawg. He comes out there and he’s gonna compete. He plays tough, physical, and he’s a playmaker.”<\/p>\n

Now, the Packers must adjust.<\/p>\n

In his absence, Jordan Love targeted Tucker Kraft seven times, with the tight end hauling in six passes for 124 yards and a touchdown. Love looked Dontayvion Wicks’ way six times, making four connections for 44 yards. Malik Heath, Luke Musgrave, Romeo Doubs, and Chris Brooks each had receptions.<\/p>\n

Love will need to find better chemistry with first-round rookie Matthew Golden, who could take on many of Reed’s snaps in the slot. Love underthrew a potential touchdown to Golden early on, allowing Commanders cornerback Trey Amos to break it up. Golden’s opportunities should increase moving forward.<\/p>\n

It’s heartbreaking for Reed. If there’s a positive, it’s that his absence will also allow him to recover from a foot issue that may have bothered him for much of the year. A broken collarbone in Week 2 shouldn’t end his season, as LaFleur said. Hopefully, he can come back 100 percent in time for a playoff run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
