The Green Bay Packers saw their Sunday against the Jets kick off in the worst way possible, with two players getting carted off the field on back-to-back plays during their opening series at MetLife Stadium.
Double Whammy in the Opening Drive
Wide receiver Jayden Reed was the first to go. He went down early, getting placed on a backboard before being carted off. Just when you think it can’t get worse, it did. On the very next play, a third down incompletion, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele suffered an injury himself. He too was carted off, leaving the Packers sideline reeling.
An Afternoon Without Key Players
Losing two players like that, in the first minutes of play, is a gut punch. There haven’t been any official updates on either Reed or Bako-Bewele yet, which is tough. But let’s be real, it’s a safe bet that Green Bay will be playing for the rest of the afternoon without them. This kind of start throws a wrench into everything, right out of the gate.
The Packers now have to figure out how to adjust on the fly and navigate the rest of this game against the Jets. Everyone’s waiting for news on Bako-Bewele and Reed, hoping for the best, but this is a rough blow for Green Bay early in the season.
