包裝工隊收回的不僅僅是任何接球手。 He’s been their leading receiver in each of the last two seasons and an option that could open up more of the playbook for quarterback Jordan Love.
“我認為他在這個位置上的組織能力是 NFL 中最好的之一，”包裝工隊進攻協調員亞當·斯特納維奇說。 “His explosive ability, his ability to be active in the run game as well, with other plays like that. Whenever the idea is that we get him back, it definitely opens up a lot of things, for sure.”
“這對我來說更重要，努力克服它，”里德談到腳傷時說道。 “但這絕對需要得到照顧，我很高興它以這樣的方式發生，讓我能夠做到這一點。”
他於 11 月 21 日恢復訓練，這為他在進入大名單之前提供了 21 天的訓練時間。
里德在鎖骨骨折之前完成了 3 次接球，推進 45 碼並達陣。
上賽季，里德以 55 次接球推進 857 碼領跑包裝工隊，並以 6 次接球達陣排名第二，僅次於塔克·克拉夫特。 2023 年，里德以 64 次接球、793 碼和 8 次接球達陣創造了隊史新秀紀錄。
“我認為我絕對是一個能夠幫助球隊的球員，伙計，”里德在返回訓練後說道。 “I just like to bring juice, so I always say if you’re out of juice, you’re useless, so that’s if you’re on the court, off the court, just bring juice, bring energy to the team. I’m just one of those guys, man. I like to be more of a team player than a good teammate than a good player, but I’m more of a great player than a great person.”
包裝工隊還要求西雅圖海鷹隊放棄防守鋒線球員昆頓·博哈納，並釋放外接手馬利克·希思。
