Packers' Jayden Reed out for season, set to undergo surgery for neck injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed will miss the remainder of the campaign following a severe neck injury sustained during a Week 2 contest against the New York Jets. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that the athlete must undergo a surgical procedure, though the medical staff does not expect the condition to threaten his career continuity.

Reed suffered the trauma during the second offensive snap of the game at MetLife Stadium, leading to a frightening scene where he was stabilized on a backboard and carted away to an overnight hospital evaluation. LaFleur acknowledged the emotional toll of the incident on the locker room and noted the immense value the pass catcher brings to the franchise.

The twenty-six-year-old player later shared a personal message via social media indicating his current mindset regarding the setback and his eventual recovery. Prior to this development, the receiver had established his professional career in Green Bay ever since the organization drafted him out of college during the second round of the 2023 selection event.
