Matt LaFleur Says It's 'Way Too Early' to Tell if Jayden Reed Can Return
Matt LaFleur said Jayden Reed is undergoing testing, while right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is out for the season after tearing his patellar tendon.
- On Tuesday, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said it is "way too early" to determine if wide receiver Jayden Reed will play this season after suffering a neck injury during Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
- Standout right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is out for the year after tearing his patellar tendon during the Packers' opening drive against the Jets, forcing offensive line reconfiguration.
- To compensate for Reed's absence, coach LaFleur indicated the offense will lean on tight end depth, with Tucker Kraft and Jonnu Smith potentially seeing increased targets alongside Matthew Golden.
- Anthony Belton will start at right tackle, while left guard Aaron Banks remains questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a toe injury and ongoing knee issues.
- Facing the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, LaFleur emphasized that "nobody cares about the circumstance," stressing the team must adapt and execute despite mounting injuries to key contributors.
