Packers WR Christian Watson injured on 53-yard catch vs. Panthers
Packers WR Christian Watson suffered a chest injury on a 53-yard catch against the Panthers on Thursday night.
Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson suffered an injury while making a 53-yard catch in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Carolina Panthers. After the catch, Watson went to the ground between two defenders. The Packers have said Watson is questionable to return due to a chest injury. After being assessed on the field, Watson exited the field on his own power.
He was taken to the medical tent for evaluation, and then back to the locker room. The Prime Video broadcast captured Watson being placed in an ambulance upon leaving the field. John Kuhn of the Packers Radio Network stated that Watson would be taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary tests. Watson's landing appeared to be quite forceful, with the trailing defensive back falling on top of him to add to the impact. More information on Watson's injury will be provided by the Packers Wire as it becomes available.
