Opportunity for Jayden Reed, Packers pass game if OL can hold up vs. Vikings blitz

Sunday night’s playoff-like matchup with the Minnesota Vikings feels like a game where the Green Bay Packers offense is going to lean more heavily on the passing game, specifically with there being big-game potential for Jayden Reed.

The Packers are already most likely going to be without Christian Watson, who is listed as doubtful, while Dontayvion Wicks is questionable after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday and being “very limited,” as Matt LaFleur put it, on Friday. From the sounds of it, Wicks is a true game-time decision.

The current state of the receiver room could put the playmaking burden in the passing game on Reed’s shoulders, especially if Wicks cannot go.
