However, <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1997504741405057468?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter<\/a> reports that he plans on playing through the pain.

While he entered the season with a clean bill of health, he went down in Week 2 and hasn&#8217;t played since September 11th. The wide receiver has caught three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown this season, with all of that production coming in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/02\/13\/nfl-network-lions-packers-emerge-suitors-in-latest-maxx-crosby-trade-buzz\/\" target=\"_self\">Week 1&#8217;s win over the Detroit Lions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When not battling injury, Jayden Reed can be a key part of Green Bay&#8217;s passing attack. The wide receiver stayed healthy last year, appearing in all 17 games while making 10 starts. During his time on the field, the second-year veteran finished the season with 55 receptions for 857 yards and six touchdowns. As a rookie, he recorded 64 receptions for 793 yards and eight touchdowns on a career-high 94 targets. Green Bay has always believed in an even distribution of targets, and adding a player like Reed back into the mix should only make their passing attack that much more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming Schefter&#8217;s report is correct, Jayden Reed couldn&#8217;t time his return from injury any better. At 9-3, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/12\/04\/major-issue-surrounding-bears-rome-odunze\/\" target=\"_self\">Chicago Bears<\/a> currently have the best record in the NFC. However, the Packers are close behind at 8-3-1 and would take the lead in the NFC North if they win.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Mark Hoffman &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed is finally set to return to the field after missing most of the season to injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":257868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,25,6431],"tags":[7460,9898],"class_list":["post-257866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-packers","category-nfl-teams","tag-green-bay-packers-news","tag-jayden-reed"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257866"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257869,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257866\/revisions\/257869"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
