The Green Bay Packers finally got wide receiver Jayden Reed back on the practice field this week — a sight fans have been waiting for. But any hope for a clear update from head coach Matt LaFleur didn’t exactly land the way they expected.
Speaking to reporters, LaFleur delivered a short, straight-faced assessment of Reed’s status, offering no excitement, no timeline, and no real clue about his availability for the upcoming matchup. It was the kind of deadpan answer that instantly sent Packers fans into uncertainty, as expectations for Reed’s return have been building for weeks.
Reed looked sharp during individual drills, and the team officially opened his 21-day return window — a positive sign that he’s trending in the right direction. But LaFleur’s cautious tone made it clear Green Bay isn’t ready to say when he’ll suit up again.
For a Packers offense that needs Reed’s playmaking badly, the wait continues — and fans will be hanging on every update as Thanksgiving week ramps up.
