Speaking after Saturday’s preseason opener, Packers coach Matt LaFleur admitted Jayden Reed (left foot) could “potentially” miss Week 1.
Reed didn’t play in the contest but was spotted limping around Lambeau Field in a walking boot. “It’s something different (from what put him on NFI to start training camp),” LaFleur said. “Hopefully, we’ll get him back before the regular season.” Hopefully indeed. Coaches are at their least reliable on injury updates this time of year, but they usually err on the side of optimism. LaFleur sounded decidedly more pessimistic. At this point, Reed probably needs to be considered on the wrong side of questionable for Week 1, which badly damages his WR4 viability.
