The Green Bay Packers will face the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night without wide receiver Jayden Reed, who has been ruled out because of a neck injury.
Reed suffered the injury during Green Bay's overtime victory over the New York Jets and was unable to recover in time for Thursday Night Football.
Jayden Reed will miss the game
Reed's absence is significant for quarterback Jordan Love. The receiver has become an important part of Green Bay's passing attack since entering the NFL.
The Packers will have to distribute Reed's opportunities among their other available receivers while he continues his recovery.
Green Bay also has offensive-line concerns
The Packers will be without several other important players. Guard Aaron Banks, tackle Zach Bako-Bewele and defensive tackle Warren Brinson have also been ruled out.
Bako-Bewele suffered a complete tear of his right patellar tendon and will undergo season-ending surgery.
Banks' absence will force Green Bay to make another adjustment along the offensive line as the Packers look to protect Jordan Love against an Atlanta defense that will try to generate pressure.
Packers look to move to 2-1
Green Bay enters Thursday Night Football at 1-1 after defeating the Jets in overtime.
The Packers will host the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, September 24, at 8:15 PM ET at Lambeau Field.
Green Bay's offense will have to find solutions without Reed and with changes along the offensive line as Jordan Love looks to keep the Packers in the NFC North race.
