The Green Bay Packers may seek a wide receiver after Jayden Reed suffered a back injury against the New York Jets on September 17, 2026. Reed will miss an unspecified time as the team evaluates his condition. Reports suggest the Packers could consider trading for Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers, who remains on the team despite recent frustration with the franchise. Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Aiyuk won't play for the 49ers moving forward. A mutual trade could benefit both teams, particularly if the Packers can negotiate a manageable deal.
