Jayden Reed limited to three catches in Packers' season opener
Summary

In the Green Bay Packers' Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, Jayden Reed recorded three catches for 20 yards on seven targets. Although Reed's targets were only one less than team leader Christian Watson, he struggled to make an impact as Jordan Love connected with fellow wideouts for substantial yardage. Reed's longest reception was only seven yards as Watson and another teammate combined for 12 catches and over 240 yards in total. With the potential for growth in the season ahead, Reed remains a player to keep on rosters, albeit on the bench for now.
