Reed carted off after being placed on backboard

Jets linebacker Demario Davis made contact to Reed's head with his shoulder pad on a hit in the first quarter. Reed was face down on the ground for a moment before rolling over to his back.

Medical staff immediately tended to Reed, and Packers players left their bench to surround their injured teammate as a cart came out.

Trainers put Reed on a backboard and stabilized his head before placing him on a cart. Reed was then taken off the field on the cart.

The precise nature and extent of Reed's injury weren't initially clear.

Collarbone and foot injuries limited Reed to seven games in 2025. In his last full NFL season in 2024, Reed tallied 55 catches for 857 yards and 6 touchdowns. He posted three catches for 20 yards in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings .
