Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 35 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers. He added one rush for nine yards.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers had all of their top pass-catching options available, so targets were spread widely. That limited Reed's volume, and he was also primarily limited to opportunity in the short areas of the field, with the exception being a 29-yard catch deep down the right sideline early in the second quarter. After ending the regular season as the team's most productive pass catcher, Reed was overshadowed by Romeo Doubs in the postseason and was shut out from the stat sheet in the wild-card round. Nevertheless, it was a promising rookie season for Reed overall -- he found the end zone 10 times in 16 regular season games -- but target volume will remain an issue in 2024 due to the number of young receivers on the roster.

Reed (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round contest in San Francisco, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reed has tended to a chest injury most weeks since Week 12, but he's sat out only one time in the last eight games. In seven appearances during that stretch, he hauled in 32 of 46 targets for 330 yards, had six carries for 54 yards and scored five total touchdowns. With his status cleared ahead of the weekend, Green Bay's receiving corps will be intact Saturday after Christian Watson (hamstring) also avoided a game-day designation on the team's final injury report.

Reed (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through.
EDGE Analysis
Reed was also listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, so the wideout will have one more chance to upgrade to full participation ahead of Saturday's divisional round playoff game against the 49ers. In Green Bay's 48-32 wild-card win over the Cowboys this past Sunday, Reed logged 26 of a possible 56 snaps on offense and didn't haul in any of his three targets.

The Packers listed Reed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reed suffered a chest injury in Green Bay's Week 17 victory over the Vikings, and has subsequently drawn back-to-back questionable tags that he ultimately played through. He seemingly served as a decoy in the Packers wild-card win over the Cowboys, as he failed to record a catch on three targets. However, it is unclear if perhaps his chest issue had anything to do with the lack of production. The rookie pass catcher will now focus on recovering in time for Saturday's showdown in San Francisco.

Reed was targeted three times but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Reed ended the regular season on a hot streak, but he served mainly as a decoy Sunday with the Packers and quarterback Jordan Love simply taking what the Dallas defense was giving them. Reed still finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, and even with Green Bay having all its pass catchers available, he remains a high-upside option after scoring 10 times between Weeks 2 and 18.

Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Reed entered the game having at least eight targets in three straight games, so he took a step back from a volume perspective. However, he used lengthy catches of 59 and 32 yards to post the first 100-yard game of his career despite the limited opportunity. Reed entered the contest dealing with a chest injury, but assuming he's able to suit up in a wild-card round matchup against the Cowboys, he's a good bet to lead the receiving corps once again. He concludes his first regular season with 793 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 64 catches.

Reed (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since showing up on the Packers' Week 12 practice report with a chest injury, Reed also has dealt with ankle, toe and rib issues. During the ensuing six-game stretch, he sat out Week 16 due to the toe concern but still posted 28 catches (on 39 targets) for 218 yards and four touchdowns and turned six carries into 54 yards and one more score in the other five contests. The Packers are looking to hold on to the No. 7 seed in the NFC, and while Reed and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are giving it a go Week 18, fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Reed (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reed was listed with a chest injury for much of December but missed a game Week 16 with a toe issue. He returned for Week 17 and caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns before halftime but then left in the second quarter (and didn't return) with a chest/rib injury. The Packers listed Reed as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, and with a playoff spot on the line it won't be surprising if he suits up even if that means playing through pain. The Packers have a reputation for being cautious with injuries, but this might be an exception given that it's not a lower-body issue and the team has so much on the line. Reed enters the weekend with a chance to suit up and avoid the inactive list ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) also are listed as questionable, though the latter's full practice participation earlier this week suggests he may not be truly questionable but rather on track to return after missing Week 17.

Reed (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Reed wasn't able to return to this past Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings after suffering a chest injury in the second quarter, his limited listings on the Packers' first two Week 18 injury reports inspires hope that he'll be back on the field for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears. Whether Reed approaches that contest with a designation will likely hinge on him upgrading to full activity at Friday's practice. If Reed remains limited Friday, he'll most likely be listed as questionable for Sunday's contest.

Reed (chest) was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough.
EDGE Analysis
Reed made an early exit from this past Sunday's win at Minnesota due to a chest injury, but not before putting up six catches (on eight targets) for 89 yards and two touchdowns. In the aftermath of the game, he had X-rays in his ribs, which were returned negative. Reed confirmed as much Wednesday, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, "Everything was fine. Went in and got the X-rays, scanned and everything was good. ... I feel pretty good." Still, the overly cautious Packers likely will continue to place practice restrictions on Reed as the week goes on with an aim toward having him as a healthy as possible Sunday against the Bears.
