Jayden Reed is quickly becoming one of the Green Bay Packers' most important players.

Whether it's as a receiver, a runner, or even on special teams, Reed makes something special happen just about every time the ball is in his hands. Through two games, he has made six receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown and rushed three times for 70 yards and a score.

Reed played in Week 2 despite dealing with calf and shin injuries. He was on the Packers' injury report again this week with a calf issue, but there's good news.

Jayden Reed will play in Packers' Week 3 game against Titans

Yes, Reed will play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite being limited at practice all week, the Packers removed him from their Week 3 injury report.

Unlike last week, the Packers didn't feel the need to list him as questionable, which suggests he is healthier than before the win over the Colts. Reed is good to go and will have a crucial role to play against the Titans.

Tennessee has the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL, allowing a league-low 114 passing yards per game and just 92.5 rushing yards. To be fair, they did get to play against the Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams has fewer touchdown passes than Malik Willis and less touchdowns than Jonathan Owens this season. Yes, the former Packers safety.

But there's no denying the Titans' talent on defense, which makes Reed even more important.

The Packers use him in so many ways. He will line up in the slot, in the backfield, and stretch the defense horizontally with jet sweeps. Matt LaFleur can build plays around Reed, even when he isn't getting the ball.

Sometimes, the best decision is to just get him the football and let him do his thing. Fortunately, Reed is good to go and will play in Week 3.
