Reed returns to Green Bay
Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has left the New Jersey hospital and returned to Green Bay after suffering a neck injury in Sunday's overtime win against the Jets.
Still undergoing tests
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Reed is still undergoing tests on the injury and that conversations about whether he'll play again this season will have to wait.
“It's way too early for that right now. . . . He's got a lot going on.”
History of injury problems
Reed missed 10 games with injuries last season and signed a three-year contract extension this offseason, making his current injury a significant setback.
Injured on second play
Reed was injured on the Packers' second offensive play of the game against the Jets, highlighting how quickly the injury occurred.
Bako-Bewele out for season
Right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele was also injured on the next play and will miss the rest of the year with a torn patellar tendon.
What it means
Reed's return to Green Bay doesn't mean he'll play again this season, as doctors continue evaluating his neck injury.
