VIDEO: Jayden Reed forced to exit TNF with a shoulder injury after a brutal foul

On the Packers’ opening drive of Thursday Night Football, Jayden Reed left the field after a spectacular deep touchdown grab was wiped out by a penalty. As he got up, Reed clutched his left shoulder and was taken for evaluation. He had just returned from a Jones fracture (foot) and looked promising in Week 1, so the sight rattled fantasy managers.

Injury analyst Jeff Mueller noted that tonight’s play might be connected to a shoulder issue Reed dealt with back in January. While the team has listed him as questionable to return, early signals aren’t particularly encouraging.

With Reed sidelined, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks immediately became early targets for Jordan Love, while Matthew Golden and TE Tucker Kraft could see more designed looks. Big picture, Green Bay typically spreads the ball around, so the systemic impact may be modest. Even though Reed is considered the WR1, he accounted for only about 19% target share in 2024; with Golden’s arrival, that could dip toward 16–17% if Reed is limited. Jordan Love’s fantasy outlook should remain steady, while Wicks–Doubs–Golden–Kraft all get a slight bump as they redistribute Reed’s opportunities.

Chiefs Linked To Saints Super Star With 5x Pro Bowl & 2x All-Pro in Blockbuster Trade, Per Source
Kansas City, MO — According to a circulating on X (Twitter), the Kansas City Chiefs have been “linked” to Alvin Kamara—the New Orleans Saints superstar, five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro—as a potential target ahead of the trade deadline. The speculation has heated up as various outlets have also floated Kamara as a logical “fit” should the Chiefs look to add a versatile, late-season playmaker on offense. At 30, Kamara is a rare dual-threat RB who excels as both a runner and receiver. He tied the NFL single-game record with six rushing touchdowns (Christmas Day 2020 vs. the Vikings), and he has recently been recognized as the Saints’ all-time leader in rushing yards. Across his career: 5× Pro Bowl, 2× Second-Team All-Pro, and a skill set tailor-made for Andy Reid’s motion/spacing concepts—screens, angle/choice routes, safe check-downs, and short play-action. Tactically, if a move ever materialized, Kamara would immediately put stress on short-to-intermediate coverages, force defenses to roll a safety, and give Kansas City intriguing two-back looks alongside Isiah Pacheco on 3rd-and-medium and in the red zone. In this hypothetical scenario, Kamara voices a desire for a fresh challenge after hitting so many personal milestones in New Orleans: “I’ve achieved just about everything with the Saints, and I want a new challenge for myself. What could be better than a team competing directly for a Super Bowl? Just thinking about wearing Red and Gold really excites me.” Source: @nflrums X As of now, there has been no official confirmation from the Chiefs or the Saints regarding any talks. Still, Kamara’s résumé and toolbox explain why his name is quickly paired with Kansas City whenever rumors of an offensive upgrade surface. With 5× Pro Bowls, 2× All-Pro honors, and a proven knack for tilting games as both a runner and receiver, even a whisper on social media is enough to make Chiefs Kingdom perk up.
