Christian Watson transported to hospital; Will Lee injures hamstring on same play
The Packers receiver injured his chest on a 53-yard reception.
Christian Watson caught a 53-yard pass from Jordan Love during the second quarter of the game. The wide receiver appeared to land on the ball before Panthers rookie cornerback Will Lee collided with him. Both Watson and Lee remained down on the ground following the play. Watson appeared to be holding his chest, while Lee could be seen writhing in pain and grabbing his left hamstring.
Lee required a cart to be brought to the training room due to his inability to weight bear on his injured leg. Watson, although able to walk, was transported to a local hospital via ambulance for precautionary measures, though he was later listed as questionable to return with a chest injury. The Packers initially listed Watson as questionable but later confirmed his status after he scored a touchdown on Josh Jacobs' 1-yard run.
The Packers' lead stood at 13-10. The Panthers, on the other hand, deemed Will Lee doubtful to return with a hamstring injury. In his place, Chau Smith-Wade took over as the fourth cornerback for the Panthers, joining Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, and Akayleb Evans who are currently on injured reserve.
