Packers’ Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele Carted Off on Consecutive Plays vs Jets
Reed and Bako-Bewele were ruled out after first-quarter injuries, and the Packers lost two starters in consecutive plays.
- On Sunday, Sept. 20, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was carted off at MetLife Stadium after suffering a neck injury in the first quarter against the New York Jets; medical personnel stabilized him on a backboard.
- The Packers also lost offensive lineman Zach Bako-Bewele on the very next play with a right knee injury; his leg was placed in a cast before he was carted off the field.
- Players from both teams took a knee during the medical delay as the Packers officially ruled both Reed and Bako-Bewele out for the remainder of the game.
- Losing Reed strips head coach Matt LaFleur of a flexible playmaker who can work from the slot and create yards after the catch, leaving Christian Watson and Matthew Golden as primary options for Jordan Love.
- This injury compounds Reed's health challenges after he missed much of the 2025 campaign with a broken clavicle and foot surgery, while the Packers entered Sunday seeking a turnaround following a Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
