Packers extend WR Jayden Reed’s contract for reported 3 years, $50.25M

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Green Bay Packers announced the signing of wide receiver Jayden Reed to a contract extension on Friday, with ESPN reporting the deal is for three years and worth $50.25 million.

Reed, who was entering the final year of his rookie contract, will be signed through 2029. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed, Reed’s agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman told ESPN.

Reed, who turns 26 on Tuesday, is coming off of an abbreviated season marred by shoulder and foot injuries that both required surgery in Week 3.

He finished with 19 receptions on 22 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown in seven regular-season games (three starts). He also started the NFC wild-card playoff loss to the Chicago Bears and made four catches for 43 yards and a TD.

Reed has 138 receptions on 191 targets for 1,857 yards, 15 touchdowns and 13.5 yards per catch in 40 regular-season games (26 starts). He has another 12 catches for 124 yards and one TD in four playoff games (three starts).

Green Bay selected Reed in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He led the team in receiving in each of his first two seasons.

The Packers have overhauled their receiving corps, allowing Romeo Doubs to leave as a free agent for the New England Patriots and a four-year, $68 million contract in March. In early April, they traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 fifth-round draft pick and 2027 sixth-rounder.

Green Bay still has receivers Christian Watson, 26, and Matthew Golden, 22, the latter a first-round pick in 2025.

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).

Packers WR Jayden Reed breaks collarbone

Posted on | by Field Level Media

After sitting out the majority of the preseason with a foot injury, Green Bay wide receiver Jayden Reed sustained a broken collarbone during the Packers’ 27-18 home win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night.

Following the game, Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that the third-year slot receiver “is going to miss a lot of time,” but added that he believes Reed has a chance to come back before the season ends.

Already without Christian Watson (ACL) until at least Week 6, the Packers will rely on Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Matthew Golden at the wide receiver position. The team also has receivers Mecole Hardman, Will Sheppard and Isaiah Neyor on its practice squad.

In the first quarter on Thursday, Reed got hurt while extending to make a 39-yard reception that appeared to put the Packers on the board first. However, rookie right tackle Anthony Belton was flagged for holding, negating the touchdown.

Reed, 25, played just 18 snaps in Green Bay’s season-opening win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but he had a team-high three catches, including a 17-yard score. He didn’t record a catch on Thursday before exiting.

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

Packers could be down two O-line starters for ‘TNF’ vs. Commanders

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom and left guard Aaron Banks may not be ready for the team’s Week 2 home game against the Washington Commanders on Thursday.

Tom picked up an oblique injury during Green Bay’s 27-13 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, while Banks is dealing with groin and ankle injuries.

The Packers had to release an injury report Monday because of the proximity to Thursday’s game, but it was estimated because the team did not practice. Tom and Banks were among six players given a DNP designation, joining defensive lineman Brenton Cox Jr. (groin), cornerback Bo Melton (shoulder), wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) and linebacker Quay Walker (quad).

ESPN reported that there was “uncertainty” surrounding Tom’s ability to play Thursday against Washington. Tom, 26, is beginning his fourth season with the Packers and his third as a starter.

Banks, 28, joined the Packers in free agency after four years with the San Francisco 49ers.

Star edge rusher Micah Parsons made his Packers debut against the Lions and recorded one sack despite dealing with a back injury and missing most of camp amid his contract dispute with the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons was listed on Monday’s practice report as a limited participant.

Quarterback Jordan Love (left thumb) was deemed a full participant in the estimated report. Love had surgery to repair a ligament in the non-throwing thumb last month. He was 16-of-22 passing for 188 yards and two touchdowns in the opener.

Report: Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) to have more tests

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Green Bay receiver Jayden Reed will reportedly have more tests after leaving Sunday night’s win at Minnesota with what the Packers called a chest injury.

NFL Network reported Monday that X-rays on Reed’s ribs were negative but that he is sore and his status for Week 18 is in doubt.

Reed, 23, caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of Sunday’s 33-10 win, which set up a win-and-they’re-in playoff scenario for the Packers (8-8) in their regular-season finale against Chicago at Lambeau Field.

Reed has broken the franchise’s rookie record with a team-high 60 catches this season. He also leads Green Bay with 681 receiving yards and is tied with Romeo Doubs for the team lead with eight touchdown receptions.

The Packers selected Reed in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Michigan State.

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon and cornerback Jaire Alexander are in line to play on Sunday against the host Carolina Panthers.
