| News for Golden, Matthew |
|---|
|
Matthew Golden caught 7-of-13 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 8 win over the Panthers. 2026-10-30 00:00:02 Golden is rarely boring, that’s for sure. He dropped two passes, and one of those was a wide-open touchdown in the second quarter. The good news for Golden, Jordan Love and fantasy managers was that he was wide open again on the next play, and he was able to bring that pass in. Golden’s athleticism and ability to get down field is unquestionable, but to say the efficiency isn’t there is an understatement. He’ll be back at it in Week 9 against the Patriots. |

Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) is active for Week 8 against the Panthers. 2026-10-29 19:00:02 Golden got in a lone limited session in preparation for the team’s Week 8 meeting with the Panthers on a short week, ultimately able to go as he looks to continue to recent hot stretch in fantasy production. No limitation in expected role has been passed by the team, meaning Golden should be good to go for a normal workload against the Panthers. Fantasy managers can confidently insert him into Week 8 rosters as an upside WR2. Inactive for the Packers are TE Jonnu Smith, RB Kaleb Johnson, LB Zaire Franklin, G Donovan Jennings, C Sean Rhyan, and G Travis Glover. |

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) is “trending toward playing” in Week 8 against the Panthers. 2026-10-29 09:00:02 Golden was estimated as a DNP for two walkthroughs this week before being limited in the Packers’ only real session. The short turnaround to Thursday Night Football likely forced the Packers to take an extra cautious approach with him in practice. While he almost certainly isn’t at 100 percent, Golden looks like a good bet to play in a sneaky shootout with the Panthers tonight. He will be on the WR1/2 border if he gets the green light. |

Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) is questionable for Week 8 against the Panthers. 2026-10-28 16:00:02 The Packers held two walkthrough practices to start the week. Golden was estimated as a DNP for both. He was limited in the team’s final practice before being hit with the questionable tag. Fantasy managers should treat him as a true game-time decision for tomorrow’s game. Savion Williams has been operating as the team’s No. 3 receiver over the past two weeks. He would presumably be the next man up if Golden can’t go, though Williams would still be a high-risk FLEX bet for Week 8. |

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the team is “still working through it” when asked if WR Matthew Golden (shoulder/foot) will play Week 8 against the Panthers. 2026-10-27 19:00:03 ESPN’s Rob Demovsky relayed LaFleur’s noncommittal response to questions on Golden’s status. LaFleur said the team hopes Golden plays, but the 23-year-old has been an estimated DNP for the first two practices of the week due to shoulder and foot injuries. With the Packers playing on a short week against the Panthers, Golden’s status will likely rely on the final practice report before a Week 8 Thursday showdown against Carolina. |
