Jayden Reed goes on IR

The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that wide receiver Jayden Reed, who had surgery to fix a broken collarbone and a Jones fracture issue with his foot, is officially going on the injured reserve. Less than 24 hours before gametime, the Packers have elected not to call up a player from their practice squad this week, despite only having 51 players on their 53-man roster.

As we explained earlier this week, Green Bay’s roster can handle the injuries it has right now. Only allowed 48 gameday players, the three scratches likely for the Packers this weekend against the Cleveland Browns are tight end Ben Sims, defensive tackle Warren Brinson and an offensive lineman. If Zach Tom is healthy, that lineman is likely Donovan Jennings. If Tom isn’t healthy, he’s the scratch.

This is all assuming that tight end Tucker Kraft, who was listed as questionable for Sunday, will play, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. If Kraft can’t go, flip him and Sims on the scratch list.

Beyond Kraft, the only player listed as questionable for the Packers’ final injury report of the week was Tom. Reed was ruled out before being placed on IR.
