Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed had an excellent rookie season in 2023, finishing as the WR25 in PPR formats despite a slow start to the season. Reed had 15+ PPR fantasy points in seven of his last nine games played, becoming a reliable WR2/flex starter.

Reed had an explosive start to the 2024 season, storming to a 33.1 PPR fantasy points finish against the Philadelphia Eagles. He showed off his raw speed, quickness, and elusiveness on huge plays and carried the team on his back.

Unfortunately, Reed now carries an injury designation. Is Jayden Reed hurt or healthy? Will he play for the Packers in Week 3? Let's break it down.

Reed showed up on Next Gen Stats' list of fastest ball carriers from Week 2, and it wasn't the first time he had chart-busting speed logged in a game. Reed appears to at least be able to reach high speeds despite his injury, which is good for his overall prognosis.

Reed was limited in his action, however, and it remains to be seen why. It's possible the Packers are being cautious with a minor injury and felt confident enough that light usage wouldn't cause a reaggravation or worsening of his injury.

Reed didn't practice on Wednesday, but it's worth noting he was questionable for that Week 2 game against the Titans and played anyway. Reed doesn't seem to be in danger of missing Week 3 without a negative development injury-wise.
