ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Packers are “still evaluating” the treatment and recovery timeframe for Jayden Reed (back) after Week 2’s injury.

Schefter clarifies this as a back injury after it was initially updated by the Packers as a neck injury. Neither of those designations are promising signs for him. Reed’s absence, should it continue into this week, would strengthen fantasy floors for Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft. The Packers used a platoon of players to replace Reed, lead by Skyy Moore.
