Matthew Golden News: Catchless in Week 2 win

Golden didn't catch either of his two targets but rushed twice for 15 yards in Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders. He also had one punt return for minus-2 yards.

The rookie first-round pick just missed bringing in a touchdown on one of his two targets, but the play was broken up by an outstanding effort from cornerback Trey Amos. Golden hasn't managed to carve out a substantial role yet in a deep Packers receiving corps, though he could get more opportunities as soon as Week 3 against the Browns in the absence of Jayden Reed, who broke his collarbone in Thursday's win. Golden's 59 percent snap share Thursday was second behind Romeo Doubs' 74 percent among Green Bay's wide receivers and represented a slight uptick from his 48 percent mark from Week 1.
