What happened to Jayden Reed? Live injury updates for Packers vs. Jets on Sunday 9/20/26

By: Alex Hunter

Reed exited Sunday’s matchup between the Packers and Jets with a head injury after an awkward fall in the first quarter. The receiver was unfortunately stretched off the field following the injury.

This was just the second play of the game and Reed caught his one target for four yards on the play he got hurt. Given Reed was taken off the field on a stretcher, it is very unlikely he returns to this game.

If Reed is out as expected, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden should see more usage.

Stay tuned to DK Network for further update on Reed.
