Golden made one catch on two targets for 39 yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason win over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Golden played on the first two offensive possessions along with many of Green Bay's top skill-position players, such as Josh Jacobs, Romeo Doubs and Tucker Kraft. He made a long contested catch down the right sideline on a throw from Malik Willis, showcasing his playmaking ability that will be a welcomed addition to the Packers' receiving corps. Golden looks locked into an immediate role as a starting outside receiver heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Lions.

Golden didn't play in Saturday's 23-19 preseason win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Though Golden wasn't one of the 29 Packers listed as not suiting up ahead of the game, the rookie wideout didn't log any snaps against the Colts. Golden's next chance to see game action will occur in this coming Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, but it remains to be seen whether or not Green Bay plans to rest key players in the contest.

Golden will play in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Golden will be in the starting lineup Saturday as the top wide receiver available for quarterback Malik Willis, despite starters including RB Josh Jacobs and TE Tucker Kraft being listed as healthy scratches. Across the starting lineup, Green Bay will have multiple players sitting out due to injuries, including Jordan Love (thumb), Jayden Reed (foot), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Romeo Doubs (back).

Golden brought in his only target for seven yards during the Packers' 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy rookie was on the receiving end of Jordan Love's only completion of the night, a seven-yard throw on the Packers' second possession. Golden also drew another target that resulted in a defensive pass interference call against Sauce Gardner. Golden has been getting work with the first-team offense since the early practices of training camp, and his slotting in Saturday's game provides further confirmation he's poised for a meaningful role right out of the gate in his NFL career. Golden and the rest of Green Bay's key offensive players may well see more extended action during next Saturday afternoon's preseason road clash against the Colts.

Golden caught a deep sideline pass with the first-team offense Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good sign he's getting some snaps with the starters in his first week of training camp, although Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com notes that Golden's impressive catch was followed by a mistimed jump that contributed to an interception. The rookie brings 4.29 speed to a WR room that otherwise has Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks as the top candidates for playing time, with Christian Watson (ACL) potentially joining the mix later in the season.
