Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Savion Williams has a concussion and was out of practice today.
Rookie wide receiver Savion Williams was held out of practice today at Green Bay Packers training camp. Williams was a third round selection for the Packers in the 2025 NFL Draft and had made a few nice catches at the start of training camp.
Williams is competing for snaps in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room so he won’t want to miss much time but the team is prioritizing his health in this situation.
Williams is behind Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks on the depth chart and is a late round dart throw in fantasy drafts, the concussion won’t help his stock but also wouldn’t expect his ADP to fall much either.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot) will not...
Green Bay Packers passing-game coordinator Jason Vrable said...
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst met last ...
With first round draft pick Matthew Golden in town, Dontayvion Wicks is falling both on the depth chart and in best ball drafts.
Dontayvion Wicks was a hyped up sleeper for 2024, often drawing comparisons to a young Davante Adams. Those are large shoes to fill for most any wideout and Wicks certainly didn’t measure up with his WR72 finish in 2024.
On Underdog, Wicks has fallen 5.9 spots in the last week from the late 17th round to the early 18th round. With Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden being selected in round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, all Packers receivers have become more questionable for their role in the upcoming season. While Jayden Reed takes the most obvious hit, further down the depth chart the enthusiasm for Dontayvion Wicks has wavered.
At best, Wicks is a late dart throw in best ball drafts when stacked with Jordan Love or correlated with the Packers fantasy playoff schedule. Otherwise, there are better dart throws to be had.

Jayden Reed is the team’s “top guy,” according to GM Brian Gutekunst.
Gutekunst’s alleged comments were relayed to Reed’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, during a meeting last week, according to Adam Schefter. The Packers used their 1st round pick in April’s draft on wide receiver, Matthew Golden, and shortly after took Savion Williams in the 3rd. Jayden Reed was unable to ascend in 2024, amassing just over 1,000 total yards on 75 touches and scoring 3 fewer touchdowns than he did in ’23.
Everyone knows how crowded the Packers’ receiving room was, even before adding two high-round picks. And now, after a somewhat disappointing year for Reed, his fantasy owners might be inclined to feel a modicum of encouragement regarding the boss’s comments. The reality of the matter is that the team has been looking for a number 1 wide receiver since the departure of Davante Adams. They were said to be still looking for one pre-draft, and adding Golden in the first round speaks louder than any second-hand comments from the GM here in May.
The biggest takeaway here is that, if the Packers decide to ship a wide receiver or two out the door between now and December, Reed likely won’t be one of them.

The 5th year wide receiver will look to reclaim his career in Minnesota.
Rondale Moore has signed with the Minnesota Vikings. After a knee injury took away his 2024 season, Moore will look to recover both from an injury and career standpoint.
Moore was looking to rewrite the script to his career last year after he was traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for quarterback Desmond Ridder. Some bullish elements to his game include the ability to show explosion close to the line of scrimmage and being versatile in usage via carries and targets. The problem for Rondale Moore is that his skillset has been more theory than practice.
Deebo Samuel and Jayden Reed get lauded for their swiss army knife utilization and weaponry afforded to their respective teams. Another problem is that for every Deebo Samuel, there is a Rondale Moore who doesn’t hit for fantasy football. Rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III is someone to monitor as to whether or not he will follow the Samuel or Moore path. In the meantime, expect Rondale Moore to fit a gadget role for depth on what is becoming a deeper offense soon to be led by quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

Jayden Reed is off the Packers NFI list and practicing.
Jayden Reed has been removed from the NFI list. An update to a previous report, the Packers wideout has been removed from the non football injury list. The second year wideout will practice in a limited capacity today. It is not yet clear when he will participate fully yet, but this is great news for the Packers and fantasy managers with shares of Reed.
Reed practicing in a limited capacity and being off of the list is a step in the right direction for the Packers wideout. Reed is currently the most expensive Packers receiving option at wr35 on underdog after a surprising rookie campaign. If you remain bullish on Reed, the NFI news is just a blip on the radar for you.
Jayden Reed Starts camp on NFI list for the Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers moved three players to their non football injury list as they opened camp today. The most notable of the bunch was second year wide receiver Jayden Reed. Reed is set to begin training camp on the NFI list, but can be activated at any point. The injury has not yet been disclosed.
Reed is set up for a big time year two in what projects to be an elite offense as he is locked into a key role in the Pacers offense for 2024. The NFI list designation is not something to be overly concerned with, but if it is revealed that he is managing an injury throughout camp, proceed with caution as redraft season is fast apporaching.
