What happened: Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Jayden Reed will undergo surgery on his neck. Reed was carted off on Sept. 20 and hospitalized with the injury.

Why it matters: Reed opened the season in Green Bay's receiver rotation. His absence removes a regular target from the offense for the rest of the regular season.

What to watch: Green Bay continues its regular-season schedule without Reed. Attention turns to the surgery and the corresponding roster move.
