Multiple NFL teams face injury concerns heading into Week 3, with Green Bay's Jayden Reed ruled out after suffering a neck injury in Sunday's overtime win against the Jets. Fantasy Pros reported Reed was hospitalized overnight in New Jersey following the incident before returning to Green Bay, leaving his status uncertain for future games.
Across the league, key players sidelined Wednesday include New England's Craig Woodson (shoulder), Cleveland's Teven Jenkins (back), Miami's Caleb Douglas (ankle), and Washington's Javon Kinlaw (shoulder). The Patriots and Browns face particular depth questions heading into their matchups this weekend.
Jayden Reed's Hospitalization Puts Packers' Receiving Corps on Alert
Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed exited Green Bay's opening possession against the Jets and had to be stretchered off the field. He spent the night in a New Jersey hospital before flying back home. CBS Sports confirmed there is no current timetable for his return to action.
Reed's absence forces Green Bay to lean heavily on Christian Watson and Matthew Golden in the passing game. Both receivers are expected to take on expanded roles as the team adjusts its offensive schemes for the upcoming week.
Defensive Back Injuries Plague Multiple AFC East Teams
The Patriots lost defensive back Craig Woodson to a shoulder injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice. His availability for Jacksonville this weekend remains uncertain, creating depth concerns in New England's secondary. CBS Sports reported the injury status was unclear heading into the team's preparation week.
Miami also dealt with secondary issues as rookie Caleb Douglas missed practice with an ankle injury. The Dolphins face Kansas City this weekend without full clarity on Douglas's status. Meanwhile, Cleveland's offensive line struggles with Teven Jenkins sidelined by a back injury, leaving Tytus Howard's participation in question.
Washington's Javon Kinlaw Awaits MRI Ahead of Seattle Matchup
Commanders defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw missed Wednesday practice with a shoulder injury and is scheduled for an MRI. CBS Sports noted this injury could force Washington to find depth options along its defensive line going into Week 3.
Charles Omenihu and Shy Tuttle are positioned to take additional snaps if Kinlaw remains sidelined against Seattle. The defensive tackles will likely see increased opportunities as Washington prepares for the NFC West opponent. The team is monitoring Kinlaw's status closely before finalizing roster decisions.
Tampa Bay's Edge Rush Depth Tested by Multiple Absences
Buccaneers linebacker Rueben Bain missed Wednesday practice with a groin injury suffered on Sunday. Roto Baller reported Bain has played 76 defensive snaps this season but recorded only one tackle. The rookie also battled a shoulder injury during the offseason before his current setback.
Edge rushers Anthony Nelson (shin) and Josiah Trotter (shoulder) also sat out Wednesday's session. Tampa Bay can rely on Yaya Diaby, Al-Quadin Muhammad, David Walker, and Yasir Holmes as the team faces Minnesota on Sunday. Baker Mayfield participated fully despite an illness, while Jalen McMillan and Jacob Parrish dealt with knee and back issues.
