The Green Bay Packers have opened the twenty-one day practice window for wide receiver Jayden Reed, designating him to return from IR.
Jayden Reed hasn’t suited up for the Green Bay Packers since suffering a collarbone injury in week 2. Reed also has been dealing with a fracture in his foot since training camp.
The Packers will have three weeks to activate Reed from IR. Tucker Kraft’s season is done and several wide receivers have been nicked up for them this year so getting Reed back would provide much needed reinforcements.
Green Bay recently got Christian Watson back and he’s asserted himself atop the pecking order, with Reed’s impending return expect Jordan Love and the Packers passing game to find another gear.

Green Bay Packers will be without wide receiver Jayden Reed for 6-8 weeks, after suffering a broken collarbone verse the Commanders.
Green Bay Packers have come out the gate swinging, beating the Detroit Lions in season opener and Washington Commanders too. Unfortunately, they will be without Jayden Reed for roughly 6-8 weeks. He came down on his shoulder in their Thursday Night Game verse the Washington Commanders in week 2, breaking his collarbone and will now require surgery as well.
The Packers will have to rely on 1st round rookie pick Matthew Golden, along with fellow rookie Savion Williams. Hopefully, the Packers can get newly extension signee Christian Watson soon coming off a torn ACL from last season. None less look for these players to step up in a big way. Also, remember tight end Tucker Kraft, after Reed left the game Thursday Night, Kraft finished with 6 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. I can see him finishing as a Top 5 Tight End this season.

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.

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.
