Panthers’ Will Lee and Packers’ Christian Watson injured on long pass play in 2nd quarter

In a recent NFL game, Carolina Panthers cornerback Will Lee suffered a hamstring injury while attempting to make a diving stop against Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson. Watson, in turn, suffered a chest injury during the same play. The incident occurred during the second quarter of Thursday night's game. Watson had earlier made a 53-yard catch, which led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs.

Will Lee was immediately taken to the locker room on a cart after the incident, while Christian Watson walked into the locker room after being evaluated. The injury to Watson, who already has 40 catches for a career-high 695 yards this season, is particularly concerning as it brings the total number of injured Carolina Panthers cornerbacks to three, with Akayleb Evans, Mike Jackson, and Jaycee Horn already on injured reserve.
