Green Bay Packers' wide recevier Jayden Reed has been having a breakout season this year. After recording 64 catches for 793 yards, and eight touchdowns as well as 11 carries for 119 yards, and two touchdowns, he could surpass all of those numbers this season.

In seven games played, Reed has 29 receptions for 452 yards, and three touchdowns. Additionally, he has 10 carries for 110 yards, and a touchdown.

However, Reed hasn't been very productive in the last two games. In the last two games combined, he has eight receptions for 38 yards and two carries for zero yards. There could be a logical reason as to why his production has been down recently.

As mentioned above, Jayden Reed has struggled in his last two games. This is likely a result from an injury suffered in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Reed suffered an ankle injury in Week 6 and left the game. Dealing with the nagging injury, he was able to suit up and play in the Packers' Week 7 game against the Houston Texans.

As the Packers gear up to play the Jacksonville Jaguars this week, Reed has been limited in practice the last two day on Wednesday and Thursday. Reed's status in practice today should provide a better understanding of his status for Week 8.

As of now, there is no word on whether or not Reed will play Sunday, but given that he played last week, it seems as if the Packers are limiting him in practice to keep the injury from becoming a serious issue.

After playing back-to-back games in London, Jacksonville will return back home and will benefit from home field advantage.

Sunday's game will be played at Everbank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. and the visiting Packers are 5.5 point favorites.
