Packers’ Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele Carted Off on Consecutive Plays vs Jets
Reed and Bako-Bewele were ruled out after first-quarter injuries, and the Packers lost two starters in consecutive plays.
On Sunday, Sept. 20, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was carted off at MetLife Stadium after suffering a neck injury in the first quarter against the New York Jets; medical personnel stabilized him on a backboard.
The Packers also lost offensive lineman Zach Bako-Bewele on the very next play with a right knee injury; his leg was placed in a cast before he was carted off the field.
Players from both teams took a knee during the medical delay as the Packers officially ruled both Reed and Bako-Bewele out for the remainder of the game.
Losing Reed strips head coach Matt LaFleur of a flexible playmaker who can work from the slot and create yards after the catch, leaving Christian Watson and Matthew Golden as primary options for Jordan Love.
This injury compounds Reed's health challenges after he missed much of the 2025 campaign with a broken clavicle and foot surgery, while the Packers entered Sunday seeking a turnaround following a Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
