As per reports, Jayden Reed injured his shoulder and is questionable to return to the field. This means that the Packers might have to play the rest of the game without one of their top receivers.

NFL analyst and trained sports surgeon Deepak Chona also came forward to discuss Reed's injury. According to him, the wide receiver could potentially miss a few weeks if he ended up with a clavicle fracture.

"#Packers Jayden Reed shoulder injury. AC sprain typically would be a short term impact. Hopefully not clavicle fracture, which would usually mean surgery + 4-6 wks out. Fingers crossed for good news," Chona wrote in a tweet on X.

In the first quarter, Packers quarterback Jordan Love lobbed a deep ball down the field while targeting Reed. The WR ran a corner route but was tackled by Commanders safety Quan Martin. His touchdown was called back for a penalty, and he landed with impact on his right arm.

Reed was able to jog his way to the sidelines before being checked on by medical officials. At the end of the first quarter, the Packers lead the game 7-0. The wide receiver did not return during the first half as Matt LaFleur's team secured a 14-3 lead.
