The Green Bay Packers have all the pieces in place to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the very near future. A very young team led by a stud quarterback and a defense who just got a major facelift. That being said, health will be one of the top priorities in getting to that point (as it is with any team).
Today it was announced that Green Bay is adding one of their star players to the injury list.
The Green Bay Packers Add Star Wide Receiver To Injury List

The Green Bay Packers’ second-year receiver Jayden Reed will begin training camp on the non-football injury list.
On Sunday, veteran players arrived for training camp. On Monday, Reed will be joined on the NFI list by backup cornerback Corey Ballentine and offensive tackle Caleb Jones for the first practice of camp. Upon team clearance, all three players can begin practicing.
In his rookie season last year, Reed was dominant based on the numbers.
Reed broke Sterling Sharpe’s rookie record of 55 receptions by catching 64; Sharpe is one of the best Packers receivers of all time (and the NFL quite frankly).
Also, Reed joined Packers legends Sharpe, James Lofton, Billy Howton, Don Hutson, and Joe Laws as the only rookies to lead the team in receiving yards.
In terms of rookie slot receptions, only Josh Downs of the Colts had more than Reed last year. While Downs had 51 receptions to Reed’s 44, Reed crushed Downs in yards (653 to 594), yards per catch (14.8 to 11.6) and touchdowns (seven to zero).
Green Bay will certainly want to get Reed healthy and ready to go for the 2024 season. They undoubtedly have big plans for him.
