Packers' Matthew Golden: Limited by wrist issue
Matthew Golden was limited by a wrist injury in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.Golden played only five snaps in Week 14 after missing a pair of contests with a wrist issue, and although his snap count may have taken a hit regardless with Jayden Reed returning, the lack of playing time was at least partly due to his injury. Golden could be more involved in Week 15 if he is able to shed his injury tag by Friday, but even still, his role will likely remain limited with all of Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Falls out of favor
Matthew Golden (wrist) failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 28-21 win over Chicago.Golden fell out of favor after returning from a two-game layoff due to a wrist injury. The first-round rookie watched six teammates finish with higher target counts in the win. This was the concern regarding Golden's usage now that Green Bay's receiver room is back at full strength. Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) was activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's contest and was far more involved than Golden, making the former the more desirable Green Bay Packers' returning receiver to go after on the wire ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Denver.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Returning to action Sunday
Matthew Golden (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Golden has missed three of the last four contests due to shoulder and wrist injuries, but in his return to the lineup Week 14, he'll welcome back third-year WR Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder), who has been sidelined since Week 2. Considering all of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks entered the weekend without designations, Golden and Reed may be capped to certain situations behind that trio. Having said that, Golden has managed just a 24-286-0 line on 32 targets in nine appearances to begin his career, so he's difficult to trust for consistent production.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Questionable for Week 14
Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Golden has a chance to return following a two-game absence. He was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices during Week 14 prep. If the rookie first-round pick suits up, it remains to be seen how much playing time he will see in a Packers receiving corps that will have Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks available, as well as possibly Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR).

Packers' Matthew Golden: Officially listed as questionable
Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Golden logged another limited practice session Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick had practiced in a limited capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 12 against the Vikings, a game for which he was also listed as questionable, so it's possible his status for Thanksgiving Day will come down to the wire. Green Bay will make Golden's availability, or lack thereof, official no later than 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Packers' Matthew Golden: Listed as limited participant
Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Golden sat out Week 12 versus the Vikings while managing a pair of injuries, but the rookie first-round pick now at least appears to have put his shoulder issue behind him. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level as Green Bay prepares to travel to Detroit for a key divisional showdown on Thanksgiving Day. Across nine regular-season appearances to date, Golden has only exceeded 50 receiving yards on three occasions, and he's still looking to score his first touchdown.
