Packers WR Jayden Reed has clavicle, foot surgeries

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers wideout Jayden Reed is recovering from surgeries on his broken clavicle and a Jones fracture in his left foot.

Reed underwent the operations Tuesday for a collarbone injury suffered last Thursday in a win against the Washington Commanders and a foot injury sustained in the preseason.

“Successful foot & clavicle surgery thank you God,” Reed posted on X.

Appearing on Instagram Live from his hospital bed, he said the Packers (2-0) are still going “to the (Super) Bowl.”

“I’m good, thank you for the prayers, bruh,” Reed said after the double surgery. “But we turnt, bruh, we going all the (expletive) way, bruh.”

In the first quarter on Thursday, Reed got hurt while extending to make a 39-yard catch that appeared to put the Packers on the board first. However, a holding penalty negated the touchdown.

Reed, 25, caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay’s season-opening win over the Detroit Lions. He didn’t record a catch in Week 2 before exiting.

A second-round pick in 2023, Reed has 122 career receptions for 1,695 yards and 15 touchdowns in 35 games for the Packers.

While Reed is sidelined for the next couple of months, Green Bay still has several options in the passing game with wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Matthew Golden plus tight end Tucker Kraft.

Green Bay will play its first road game of the season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns (0-2).

Report: Packers extend WR Christian Watson

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson has agreed to a one-year, $13.25 million contract extension, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Watson, 26, is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, which means he will miss at least the first four games of this season as he recovers from the torn right ACL he suffered on Jan. 6 against the Bears. A second-round draft pick out of North Dakota State in 2022, Watson was in the last year of his rookie contract and headed for free agency after this season.

Green Bay has typically been cautious with players coming back from ACL injuries, but the Packers’ coaching staff and GM Brian Gutekunst have commented about the speedy receiver’s steady recovery throughout his rehab process.

Watson, who has dealt with a handful of injuries in his three-plus years in the league, has 98 catches for 1,653 yards and 14 touchdowns in 38 games (35 starts). His 16.9-yards-per-catch average ranks third in the league among players with at least 75 catches since the start of the ‘22 season.

Reports: LB Micah Parsons (back) expected to make Packers debut on Sunday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Micah Parsons is expected to make his team debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, according to multiple reports.

Parsons was listed as questionable with a back injury. Although he will be active, the All-Pro defender is expected to play a limited role against the Lions, primarily focusing on pass rushing.

The Packers made a huge splash acquiring the four-time Pro Bowl selection from the Dallas Cowboys on August 28th, immediately signing him to a four-year, $188 million contract extension.

Last season, Parsons had 12 sacks and two forced fumbles in 13 games, making his fourth Pro Bowl in as many seasons in the league.

Report: Packers CB Nate Hobbs (knee) out for preseason

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Nate Hobbs will miss the rest of training camp after weekend knee surgery, ESPN reported Tuesday.

Hobbs, who signed a four-year, $48 million contract as a free agent in March, could be back for the Sept. 7 season opener against the visiting Detroit Lions.

Hobbs, 26, underwent a procedure Saturday to repair a partial meniscus tear, per the report. He has not practiced since Thursday.

He had been having a strong training camp, adding such a physical presence that coach Matt LaFleur had to ask him to save something for the regular season.

“The thing you admire most about him is he’s passionate about the game and he loves to compete,” LaFleur said last month. “That’s one of the reasons we went out and got him is he shows it. He’s that consistently on a daily basis.”

He played his first four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2021. He posted 281 tackles, 3.0 sacks, three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in 51 games (38 starts).

With Hobbs sidelined, cornerbacks Carrington Valentine and recently signed Corey Ballentine could see more time on the outside opposite Keisean Nixon.

Reports: Packers sign OT Zach Tom to $88 million extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Green Bay Packers signed right tackle Zach Tom to a four-year, $88 million extension on Monday, according to several reports.

The contract reportedly includes a signing bonus worth $30.2 million, the largest ever for an offensive lineman in the NFL.

Tom was drafted in the fourth round by the Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft and has started all 17 games in each of the last two seasons for Green Bay.

The 26-year-old Tom finished third in All-Pro voting among right tackles last season, behind Detroit’s Penei Sewell and Philadelphia’s Lane Johnson.

The Packers are scheduled to report for training camp on Tuesday.

Reports: LB/S Isaiah Simmons signs with Packers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

With the NFL draft in the rearview mirror, the Green Bay Packers signed free agent linebacker/safety Isaiah Simmons to a one-year contract on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Simmons reportedly visited the Packers two weeks ago. On Sunday, Simmons posted a mouse trap with a piece of cheese on social media.

A first-round pick (No. 8 overall) of the Arizona Cardinals in 2020, Simmons spent the previous two seasons with the New York Giants.

Simmons, who has never missed a game in his five NFL seasons, started just once in 2024 and played in only 17 percent of the Giants’ defensive snaps, recording 21 tackles with one forced fumble.

In 2023, New York moved Simmons from linebacker, where he played in Arizona, to safety. He started four games and appeared in one-third of the defensive snaps.

He started 37 games in three years with the Cardinals but was dealt to the Giants for a seventh-round draft pick in August 2023.

In 84 career games, Simmons has 329 tackles with 8.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, nine forced fumbles and five interceptions.

The Green Bay Packers are re-signing outside linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a two-year, $8 million contract, ESPN reported Monday.

Incentives can boost the value of the deal to $9.5 million for the 25-year-old unrestricted free agent, per the report.

McDuffie started all 17 games in 2024 and recorded a career-high 97 tackles, three passes defensed and one forced fumble.

He has 228 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery in 63 career games (26 starts) since Green Bay drafted him in the sixth round in 2021 out of Boston College.
