NFL Network reported Monday that X-rays on Reed's ribs were negative but that he is sore and his status for Week 18 is in doubt.
Reed, 23, caught six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the first half of Sunday's 33-10 win, which set up a win-and-they're-in playoff scenario for the Packers (8-8) in their regular-season finale against Chicago at Lambeau Field.
Reed has broken the franchise's rookie record with a team-high 60 catches this season. He also leads Green Bay with 681 receiving yards and is tied with Romeo Doubs for the team lead with eight touchdown receptions.
The Packers selected Reed in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Michigan State.
