Jayden Reed beats former Packers LB Krys Barnes for early TD vs. Cardinals

Jayden Reed caught former Green Bay Packers linebacker Krys Barnes in coverage, and the second-year receiver gave his team a 7-0 lead with a 5-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter of Sunday’s showdown with the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field.
