The Green Bay Packers and their fanbase Has been Slam with a huge blow, the NFL has officially handed down a 12-game suspension to promising wide receiver Mattew Golden, citing a major violation of league policies.
According to NFL executives, the suspension stems from what the league describes as a “serious breach of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.” While full details have yet to be released, multiple sources close to the investigation indicate that Golden was involved in an off-field incident that triggered an internal review by the league.
The 21-year-old rookie, who was recently drafted by the Packers and had quickly become a breakout name in offseason workouts, will now miss the majority of his first NFL season. Golden was expected to play a major role in head coach Matt LaFleur’s offense, especially after his standout performance in minicamp where he flashed elite route-running and playmaking ability.
The NFL released a brief statement:
“After a thorough investigation, the league has determined that Mattew Golden violated the NFL Personal Conduct Policy. As a result, he has been suspended without pay for the first 12 games of the 2025 regular season.”
The Green Bay Packers also issued a statement expressing disappointment in the situation:
“We are aware of the league’s decision regarding Mattew Golden and take these matters very seriously. While we are disappointed, we will continue to support Mattew as he works through this setback and takes the necessary steps to return.”
Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions—some expressing frustration over losing a key offensive weapon, while others stand in support of Golden, urging the team and the league to provide more clarity.
Golden has not yet made a public statement, but sources say he plans to appeal the suspension. Until then, the Packers will be forced to adjust their receiving corps as they head into the season without one of their most promising young stars.
