Matthew Golden was "Definitely Close" to Playing Last Week
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team will see how practice goes this week for rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder), but he was "definitely close" to suiting up on Monday Night Football in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. LaFleur indicated that the Packers would ease Golden back into practice this week, and he was officially limited on Wednesday. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full participant by Friday, he should be cleared to return to the field for this Sunday's game on the road against the New York Giants. Golden certainly has not lived up to the preseason hype that surrounded him after being the 23rd overall pick in April, especially with Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) out since Week 2. If he returns, he'll be a risky WR4/5 option for fantasy managers. Golden has yet to score in his first eight NFL games.
