Green Bay Packers Announce Devastating Injury Ahead of Game Against Carolina Panthers (Report)

The Green Bay Packers will try to get back on track this week against the Carolina Panthers. With a record of 6-8, the Packers have a limited chance of making the playoffs. Winning out provides the club an excellent chance, but it is difficult to believe this team can win three consecutive (again).

However, that three-game winning streak may have just become a little more difficult. Particularly on the offensive end of the field.

The Green Bay Packers may be without one of their best weapons when they face the Carolina Panthers.

According to Packer Report’s Zachary Jacobson:

Jayden Reed is currently out with a toe injury. It’s his third different injury since Nov. 21, but he’s played in all four Packers games during that time despite suffering from chest and ankle problems. He’s a tough child.

Reed is quickly developing into one of the Packers’ hardest offensive players. The number of injuries he has played through (and done well) is nothing short of astounding.

Toe injuries, on the other hand, are a different story. While the two ailments may be unrelated, it is worth remembering that Davante Adams lost nearly a month in 2019 due to turf toe.

If Reed is unable to play against the Panthers on Sunday, who will the Packers turn to?

Christian Watson, if he recovers from his hamstring injury, is clearly the best option. Another young wide receiver, on the other hand, is swiftly blossoming for this club. Wicks had the busiest day of his brief career against the Buccaneers, with Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game. Wicks caught six of seven targets for 97 yards and connected with quarterback Jordan Love on three 20-yard or longer plays.

If Reed is unable to travel, I expect Wicks to play a larger part in the Packers’ offense. He has unquestionably gained Jordan Love’s trust. When it comes to injuries, the Packers’ wide receiving corps has had a difficult year.
