Gets into end zone Thursday Golden brought in seven of 13 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday.

Impact The second-year speedster finished second in receptions and receiving yards for the Packers on the night while leading the way in targets with a season-high-tying figure. Golden struck for his fourth touchdown of the season as well on a 24-yard scoring grab just after the two-minute warning in the first half, and the 2025 first-round pick now has at least six catches in four consecutive contests. Golden should remain busy in a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8 where New England shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez could spend the majority of his time on Christian Watson.

Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden active for game against Panthers

Green Bay wide receiver Matthew Golden was active for the Packers’ Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers after dealing with shoulder and foot injuries

OCTOBER 29 • Associated Press

Active for Thursday's game Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as active Thursday against the Panthers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Golden was contained to just one limited walkthrough (Wednesday) during Week 8 prep due to shoulder and foot injuries, but James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reported earlier Thursday that the Packers were optimistic about the second-year wide receiver's availability. Indeed, Golden is suiting up, looking to build upon the 36-540-3 line on 69 targets that he's racked up through the first seven contests of the season.

Optimism for Thursday availability The Packers expect Golden (shoulder/foot), who is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Panthers, to suit up, James Palmer of NFL on Prime Video reports.

Impact Golden was given a questionable tag after being listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough following practice absences Monday and Tuesday. If the 2025 first-round pick gets the green light when game statuses are confirmed approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Golden would likely occupy his customary starting role across from Christian Watson.

Questionable for Thursday Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Golden opened Week 8 prep as a listed non-participant both Monday and Tuesday due to shoulder and foot injuries, but he was able to upgrade to limited at Wednesday's walkthrough and thus put himself in a position to play Thursday. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff

Sits out walkthrough practice Golden (shoulder/foot) didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Coming out of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions, Golden is nursing a pair of injuries that have resulted in him going down as a non-participant on the Packers' Week 8 injury report. The Packers will see if Golden can upgrade to limited or full participation in Wednesday's session before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into Thursday's game against the Panthers. Despite leading the NFL with six drops through the first seven weeks, Golden has emerged as a useful fantasy asset in his second NFL season with 36 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns on 69 targets to go with six rushing yards.

Listed as DNP on Monday Golden (shoulder/foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports

Impact After being limited last week due to a shoulder injury, Golden was able to suit up Sunday at Detroit, logging an 85 percent snap share and corralling six of 12 targets for 39 yards. As Week 8 prep kicks off, he's also tending to a foot issue. Golden will have two more chances to be listed as something other than DNP this week before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Thursday's game against the Panthers.

Makes six catches Sunday Golden gathered in six of 12 targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 20-17 defeat in Detroit.

Impact Golden has been targeted at least 12 times by QB Jordan Love in four of seven appearances this season, resulting in three 100-yard efforts to date. Drops and near misses between the two continue to be a feature in the Packers offense, though, as Golden has recorded a catch rate of 50 percent or better four times, with his mark in 2026 sitting at only 52.2 percent. Golden and Green Bay next have a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on the docket in Week 8.

NFL DFS Week 7: Best Picks, Lineup Advice and Value Plays

Set to play Sunday Golden (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact After being limited in practice this week, Golden is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup in what projects to be a shootout at Ford Field. In just six games this season, Golden has already surpassed last year's marks in catches, yards and touchdowns, producing a 30-501-3 receiving line on 51 targets. He's developed into an every-week WR2 for fantasy.

Tom Brady's NFL Power Rankings: Are The Patriots The Best Non-Undefeated Team?

Dealing with shoulder issue Golden (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Golden's inclusion coincides with QB Jordan Love (back) and WR Christian Watson (ankle), among others, also being listed as limited to kick off Week 7 prep. The situation thus bears monitoring as the week continues to see if any of the trio is in danger of missing Sunday's contest at Detroit.
