Reed opened Week 13 prep with back-to-back absences due to a chest injury that has lingered since a Week 11 win against the Chargers, but his return to the field in some capacity Friday has him in a position to miss no game action as a result. He was able to play through the issue during the Packers' win in Detroit on Thanksgiving, hauling in four of eight targets for 34 yards and one touchdown and taking two carries for 16 yards. Reed's availability won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Reed opened Week 13 prep with back-to-back absences due to a chest injury that has lingered since a Week 11 win against the Chargers, but his return to the field in some capacity Friday has him in a position to miss no game action as a result. He was able to play through the issue during the Packers' win in Detroit on Thanksgiving, hauling in four of eight targets for 34 yards and one touchdown and taking two carries for 16 yards. Reed's availability won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
After back-to-back missed practices, Reed's return at the end of the week seemingly gives him a shot to play Sunday night against the Chiefs. He's still only third among Packers WRs in snaps and routes most weeks -- behind Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson -- but the rookie nonetheless is averaging 5.4 targets per game and took five carries the past two weeks (in addition to 14 targets).
Reed missed Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday will be pivotal with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Chiefs. If Reed is unavailable this weekend, Dontayvion Wicks (knee), Malik Heath and Samori Toure would be candidates for added Week 13 WR snaps.
Reed showed up suddenly on Tuesday's report as limited due to a chest injury, which coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stemmed from the wideout feeling soreness that become a bigger issue as the week went on. But it didn't impact Reed at Wednesday's walkthrough, and he'll now be available Thursday versus a Lions defense that has given up the fifth-most touchdowns (12) to opposing wide receivers in 10 games this season.
Reed's day was highlighted by a 32-yard touchdown on an end-around to begin the second quarter. With the help of that score, the rookie actually led the Packers in rushing yards Sunday, when top tailback Aaron Jones went down with a knee injury. If Jones is sidelined going forward, Reed could continue to see occasional carries on motion plays from his wideout position, where he entered Sunday leading the team in receiving yards.
Reed turned in an excellent performance, pacing Green Bay in both catches and receiving yards. His totals included a 35-yard touchdown during the second quarter, as well as a 46-yard grab on the final drive of the day that helped put the Packers in scoring position. Although the Packers' offensive inconsistencies impact Reed's stock, he's now topped 80 yards in two of his last three outings, continuing a quality rookie campaign.
The 2023 second-round pick was the Packers' leading receiving on the day in terms of yardage, although Romeo Doubs (nine) and Christian Watson (eight) both saw more targets and AJ Dillon caught more passes (five). Reed also set a new career high with the 83-yard performance, and he appears to have held onto a significant role in the passing game since Watson's Week 4 return to the lineup. Green Bay's passing game as a whole could be poised for a breakout in Week 9 against a Rams defense that just got lit up by Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
