Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed injured his back, not his neck as the team first announced, and was expected to return to Green Bay on Monday after a night at a New Jersey hospital, a source told ESPN. The team has not released a diagnosis or recovery timeline.
Reed, 26, was hurt on Green Bay's second offensive play of Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the New York Jets. After a hit at the end of a 4-yard catch, he lay face down on the turf before medical staff turned him onto his back, strapped him to a backboard, and loaded him onto a cart as teammates knelt nearby, the Associated Press reported.
