Story summary

On the opening drive of the Packers' game against the New York Jets in East Rutherford, New Jersey, wide receiver Jayden Reed was severely injured during a hit by Demario Davis. After catching a short pass from Jordan Love for a 4-yard gain, Reed was tackled hard and suffered what turned out to be a neck injury, leading trainers to remove him on a backboard. Moments later, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele also got hurt while blocking Jets rookie David Bailey, sustaining a knee injury that required an air cast. Both players were immediately ruled out for the rest of the game. Reed was drafted in the second round last year and signed a $50 million extension this April; he had 1,877 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns over his four seasons before Sunday's incident.
