Packers WR depth chart: How Jordan Love's weapons are impacted by injuries to Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden image

Mark Hoffman

The young Green Bay offense is facing a mounting challenge as injuries continue to thin out the wide receiver room, putting increased pressure on quarterback Jordan Love to perform with a depleted arsenal.

With Jayden Reed still recovering from a significant lower-body injury and rookie Matthew Golden not expected to play with a shoulder ailment, the ripple effects are reshaping the Packers' depth chart and forcing a dramatic change in offensive strategy.

The absences of both the versatile slot specialist Reed and the field-stretching rookie Golden leaves a significant void, making veterans like Romeo Doubs and the recently returned Christian Watson essential for Love to maintain the passing attack.

As Green Bay faces a critical stretch, the team's ability to maximize its remaining weapons will determine whether Love can guide the Packers through this injury crisis or if the lack of reliable targets will finally stunt the offense's growth.

Here's how the Packers depth chart lies before "Monday Night Football" against the Eagles.

1. Romeo Doubs

A dependable third-year wideout from Nevada, Doubs is currently Jordan Love's most reliable receiver and a strong contested-catch threat. He leads the team in receiving production this year, with 34 receptions for 441 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and is expected to be the primary target in the passing attack.

2. Christian Watson

Drafted in 2022, Watson has elite speed but has battled hamstring and knee issues throughout his young career. He recently returned from injury and is expected to stretch the field.

3. Matthew Golden

Golden was the Packers' first round pick in 2025, with the hope of emerging as the team's WR1. But, the wide receiver from Texas has been unable to, as he has been limited by a shoulder ailment. He is expected to miss Monday night's contest.

4. Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks is a high-upside option who has been battling a calf injury. He typically operates as a backup boundary receiver but is seeing increased snaps due to the injuries to Reed and Golden, potentially putting him in a starting role tonight.

5. Malik Heath

An undrafted free agent from 2023, Heath is a physical, big-bodied receiver who has stepped up into a larger role due to injuries above him on the depth chart.

6. Savion Williams

Williams is a rookie wide receiver for the Packers, selected in the third round (87th overall) of the 2025 draft out of TCU.

He is a physically imposing athlete at 6-foot-4 and 222 pounds, known for having a rare combination of size and speed. Due to the depth of the receiver room, he has primarily been used in a situational or gadget role and on special teams this season.
