Foot and shoulder injuries kept Golden out of Monday's practice. The Packers face a quick turnaround with a Thursday night game against the Panthers. Managing two injuries on a truncated week of preparation could prove difficult. Golden will have two more chances to get back on the practice field, but this could be a game-time decision. RotoWire advises considering other healthier options for the week ahead.

Golden led the Packers in targets (12), air yards (155), and route share (87%), but dropped a couple of passes and finished with a season-low 9.9 PPR points. He has 749 unrealized air yards (210 more than second-place Michael Wilson), indicating high volume but low-percentage looks. The source questions whether Golden is a genuine star or just a talented guy getting volume because Jordan Love instinctively chucks to him under pressure. Golden's lack of size and shaky hands reputation may continue to leave plays on the field despite his ability to get open and 4.3 straight-line speed.
