LaFleur Says Jayden Reed Is Expected to Miss Season

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur said wide receiver Jayden Reed is expected to miss the rest of the season and told him he will need neck surgery, following an injury Reed sustained against the New York Jets in Week 2. The account of Reed’s prognosis and planned operation comes from LaFleur’s statement as reported in the supplied material; no separate medical update was provided. LaFleur said Reed had informed him the previous day that surgery would be necessary. He described the expected absence as significant and said Reed would be out for the season. The report did not specify when the procedure would take place or provide a recovery timeline, and it did not say that surgery had already occurred. The article says Reed was placed on injured reserve after the neck injury and did not return to the game. It describes him being taken from the field for medical attention and staying overnight in New Jersey for observation. LaFleur characterized the incident as frightening and said he had not initially realized its full magnitude. The supplied account does not include medical records or an independent confirmation of those details.
