Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed leaves the field on a backboard after sustaining a head injury during Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Multiple reports say he is carted off with his neck stabilized and is assessed for injury after taking a significant blow while playing after a short pass from quarterback Jordan Love.
The injury occurs on a play in which Reed is hit as he’s tackled, with outlets describing the contact as severe and, in some accounts, involving helmet-to-helmet contact. Yahoo Sports and Fox News specifically describe the scene as he is immobilized with his head stabilized on the spine/backboard. CBS Sports reports Reed is ruled out following the hit.
Outlets agree on the basic sequence: Reed is injured during the Jets game, removed from the field on a board/cart, and receives immediate medical attention. They differ mainly in wording—some emphasize “spine board” or “neck stabilized,” while others focus on Reed being officially ruled out.
