Packers' Matthew Golden: Career-high receiving yards in win
Golden brought in all 10 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Golden led the Packers in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards, and the latter total was also a new career high. The second-year wideout also laid claim to the game's longest catch (49 yards), and he reeled in the first of Jordan Love's three TD passes on the day with a five-yard grab at just under the eight-minute mark of the first quarter. Golden now has four 100-yard efforts in what is already a breakout campaign, one that's seen him amass a 53-783-5 line on 92 targets heading into a Week 10 home showdown against the Vikings next Sunday.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Gets into end zone Thursday
Golden brought in seven of 13 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.
The second-year speedster finished second in receptions and receiving yards for the Packers on the night, while also leading the way in targets with a season-high-tying figure. Golden struck for his fourth touchdown of the season as well on a 24-yard scoring grab just after the two-minute warning in the first half, and the 2025 first-round pick now has at least six catches in four consecutive contests. Golden should remain busy in a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8, one where New England shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez could spend the majority of his time on Christian Watson.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Active for Thursday's game
Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as active Thursday against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden was contained to just one limited walkthrough (Wednesday) during Week 8 prep due to shoulder and foot injuries, but James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reported earlier Thursday that the Packers were optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's availability. Indeed, Golden is suiting up, looking to build upon the 36-540-3 line on 69 targets that he's racked up through the first seven contests of the season.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Optimism for Thursday availability
The Packers expect Golden (shoulder/foot), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Panthers, to suit up, James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reports.
Golden was given a questionable tag after being listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough following practice absences Monday and Tuesday. If the 2025 first-round pick gets the green light when game statuses are confirmed approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Golden would likely occupy his customary starting role across from Christian Watson.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Questionable for Thursday
Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden opened Week 8 prep as a listed non-participant both Monday and Tuesday due to shoulder and foot injuries, but he was able to upgrade to limited at Wednesday's walkthrough and thus put himself in a position to play Thursday. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff

Packers' Matthew Golden: Sits out walkthrough practice
Golden (shoulder/foot) didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Coming out of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions, Golden is nursing a pair of injuries that have resulted in him going down as a non-participant on the Packers' Week 8 injury report. The Packers will see if Golden can upgrade to limited or full participation in Wednesday's session before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into Thursday's game against the Panthers. Despite leading the NFL with six drops through the first seven weeks, Golden has emerged as a useful fantasy asset in his second NFL season with 36 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets to go with six rushing yards.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Listed as DNP on Monday
Golden (shoulder/foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports
After being limited last week due to a shoulder injury, Golden was able to suit up Sunday at Detroit, logging an 85 percent snap share and corralling six of 12 targets for 39 yards. As Week 8 prep kicks off, he's also tending to a foot issue. Golden will have two more chances to be listed as something other than DNP this week before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Thursday's game against the Panthers.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Makes six catches Sunday
Golden gathered in six of 12 targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat in Detroit.
Golden has been targeted at least 12 times by QB Jordan Love in four of seven appearances this season, resulting in three 100-yard efforts to date. Drops and near misses between the two continue to be a feature in the Packers offense, though, as Golden has recorded a catch rate of 50 percent or better four times, with his mark in 2026 sitting at only 52.2 percent. Golden and Green Bay next have a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on the docket in Week 8.
