NBC Sports states that Reed is among three important offensive players listed as out on the Monday injury report. The others are right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) and left guard Aaron Banks (ankle & groin). It's important to note that the Packers did not practice on Monday, so the practice levels are estimates.

Reed had a solid game against the Detroit Lions to the satisfaction of his fantasy football managers and Packers fans. He posted a stat line of three receptions for 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.

When will Jayden Reed return?

So, it's up in the air as to when Jayden Reed will return to action. The skilled wideout needs to feature in Tuesday's practice session to prove his fitness for his side's Thursday Night Game against the Washington Commanders.

Reed's fantasy managers have a day or two to roll the dice if him. They could either flip him via a trade or stack him in the reserve while starting another skill player from the bench. That's why the next Green Bay Packers injury report is important.

In the meantime, the Packers will aim to ramp up their preparations for their first Thursday Night Game of the season. They'll hope to have Reed catching passes from Jordan Love in the game.
