Jayden Reed’s recent injuries include a broken collarbone and a fracture in his left foot, both of which required surgery in September.

The collarbone injury happened in Week 2, and the foot injury was from training camp, with both being repaired at the same time. He has since returned to practice, but he’s still awaiting medical clearance to return to game action.

Foot and collarbone feeling?

The Green Bay Packers completed a season sweep of the Detroit Lions after winning in Detroit, 31-24, on Thanksgiving Day.

It’s another Thanksgiving Day game for the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. The game begins at noon at Ford Field.

Packers’ offense vs. Lions’ defense

Green Bay’s offense has been a tale of two situations this year.

At times, they look unstoppable.

Other times, they cannot get out of their own way.

The first time the Packers played the Lions, they displayed both of those qualities.

And we’re right back where we started.

Sort of.

The Green Bay Packers won the first game of the season against the Detroit Lions, with an emphatic 27-13 victory at Lambeau Field.

A lot has happened since then. The Packers and Lions have both visited third place in their division since the two teams met on opening day.
