Jayden Reed Cleared To Play Sunday Night

Jayden Reed Cleared To Play Sunday Night

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed (chest, toe) is off the final Week 17 injury report and will play on Sunday night versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Reed missed the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers and should be returning to a significant role in Green Bay's offense with Christian Watson (hamstring) likely to miss his fourth straight game and fellow rookie Dontayvion Wicks (chest) questionable to play. The 23-year-old had been a very big part of the team's offense leading up to his missed contest on Christmas Eve. The rookie second-rounder out of Michigan State has scored five touchdowns (three receiving, two rushing) in his previous six games on 31 receptions (42 targets) for 259 yards. Reed scored two rushing TDs on nine attempts for 100 yards. He could end up being a sneaky flex play in fantasy lineups, especially if Wicks also ends up sitting out Sunday evening.
