When it rains, it pours. The Green Bay Packers have found that to be true in the worst way with yet another injury to an offensive player.
Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed needed medical attention and some help walking off of the field after taking a hit to his upper arm. It was just the latest injury to a Packers offensive contributor.
Fellow receiver Christian Watson tore his ACL in Week 18, left guard Elgton Jenkins suffered a shoulder injury earlier in the game and receiver Romeo Doubs also needed a concussion evaluation just one drive prior to Reed’s injury.
Reed sustained his injury when Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship tackled him late in the third quarter of the wild card matchup. The receiver immediately grabbed at his arm and stayed on the ground after the play.
The Packers quickly ruled Reed questionable to return with a shoulder injury.
