After flashing in training camp and preseason practices, it was a struggle for Golden during the regular season as he battled wrist and shoulder injuries. In 14 regular-season downs, the wide receiver produced just one over 60 yards (86 in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals) and had six downs of less than 10 yards, including three goose eggs. He finished the regular season with 361 yards on 29 catches with zero touchdowns.
Golden looked more like the player the Packers hoped for in the postseason, going 84 yards on four catches with his first career touchdown in a loss to the Chicago Bears. Green Bay is projecting that performance to continue into 2026, where Golden will pair with Jayden Reed and Christian Watson as the top three on the depth chart.
