Sharp take

A cart is not a diagnosis, but it is not nothing either. Reed is rostered in 100% of Main Event teams and carries 27.7 points of value over replacement, which is too much to drop off a single ruled-out afternoon with no word on severity. Green Bay is a 3.5-point favourite in a 44.5-point game, so there was never much ceiling to chase here anyway. Hold him, start someone else this week, and wait for an actual report. If your bench is already three deep in dead weight, that is a separate problem.
