In an interview, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur addressed Jayden Reed's significant decline in performance during the latter half of the 2024 season. Reed, who started strong with almost 70 receiving yards per game in the first nine games, saw his average drop below 30 yards in the final eight. LaFleur noted that Reed suffered minor injuries but emphasized that the coaching staff also needed to create better opportunities for him within the game plan.

Despite playing all 17 games, Reed's role diminished, leading to a zero-catch game against the Detroit Lions in Week 14. LaFleur expressed a commitment to ensure Reed is utilized more effectively moving forward, acknowledging that while injuries impacted his performance, the coaching staff could have done a better job to leverage Reed's explosive talent.
