## 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.
## Key takeaway

Reed's return to Green Bay doesn't mean he'll play again this season, as doctors continue evaluating his neck injury.
