Jayden Reed Injury: Team 'hopeful' for Week 1 appearance

GM Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that the Packers are "hopeful" that Reed (foot) will be available for a Week 1 matchup against the Lions on Sunday, Sept. 7, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Reed wore a walking boot to protect a foot injury for less than a week in mid-August, but even after shedding it, he hasn't returned to practice. He thus sat out the Packers' entire preseason slate and now is exactly a week away from the team beginning on-field prep for the season opener. Next Wednesday's practice report may provide the first hint about whether Reed is on course to suit up against Detroit.
