Packers could open window for WR Jayden Reed

Nov 18, 2025

Speaking of Jayden Reed, the third-year wideout could return to practice on Wednesday after his two-and-a-half-month absence.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said HC Matt LaFleur was asked Monday if the Packers will open the 21-day practice windows for any players this week and the head coach flashed a massive smile while saying, “I sure as heck hope so.” According to the story, LaFleur added that the team will have a better idea about the availability of Reed, and running back Lloyd, over the next two days. The return of Reed could be a big deal for the Packers offense, especially after losing TE Tucker Kraft. The return of Reed would create a logjam of healthy WRs in Green Bay.

There is some positive news on the injury front for Houston.

According to multiple reporters, C.J. Stroud is set to return to practice on Tuesday as the quarterback takes a step forward in the concussion protocol.

Fantasy Impact:

While that's certainly great news, with the Texans hosting the Bills on Thursday night, Stroud is still unlikely to play in Week 12, the story went on to say. It looks like Mills will get the start this Thursday night, but it seems like Stroud has a chance to play in Houston’s Week 13 divisional matchup against Indianapolis.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers underwent further tests Monday that confirmed he won’t need surgery on his fractured left wrist.

Related players: Mason Rudolph

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers is pushing to play Sunday at Chicago, but doctors must clear him and his status moving forward is TBD, the post went on to say. The Steelers are an earlier Sunday game at the Bears in Week 12, so owners should have plenty of time to adjust lineups if needed. If Rodgers can't go, it will be Rudolph. Rudolph ended up 12 of 16 for 127 yards and a TD last week.

Running back Rhamondre Stevenson and receiver Kayshon Boutte have each missed multiple games due to recent injuries. But after both were listed as limited on Tuesday’s injury report last week, Stevenson and Boutte are set to return to practice tomorrow.

“I would expect them to be out there Wednesday. And then, again, we’ll see, monitor how that goes,” head coach Mike Vrabel said in his Monday news conference. “To me, when you come back, it’s just about the volume and handling what their normal volume would be, can they, obviously, do their job up to what we expect and what they expect it to be, and being able to protect themselves out there.”

Fantasy Impact:

Stevenson has been out with a toe injury. He has not played since New England’s Week 8 victory over Cleveland. He’s rushed for 279 yards with three touchdowns and has caught 16 passes for 169 yards in eight games this season. Boutte is second on the team with 431 receiving yards on 23 catches and leads the team with five receiving touchdowns, the story said. The big story is will Stevenson's return cut into Henderson's workload. Henderson has shined as the team's RB1 as of late with Stevenson out of the lineup, so it remains to be seen how the workload is split.
