The Packers quickly ruled him out with a neck injury.

Packers right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele also left in the first quarter with a knee injury and was ruled out. The precise nature of Bako-Bewele's injury wasn't initially clear.

Trainers put Reed on a backboard and stabilized his head before placing him on a cart. Reed was then taken off the field on the cart.

The precise nature and extent of Reed's injury weren't initially clear.

Reed, 26, is a fourth-year pro who's played his entire career for the Packers since being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He's the No. 2 receiver on Green Bay's depth chart behind Christian Watson.

Collarbone and foot injuries limited Reed to seven games in 2025. In his last full NFL season in 2024, Reed tallied 55 catches for 857 yards and 6 touchdowns. He posted three catches for 20 yards in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
