Why did Packers WR Christian Watson take an ambulance to and from the hospital on TNF?
Packers WR Christian Watson had a wild Thursday night, taking an unexpected trip to the hospital and producing a 100-yard receiving game.
During the Packers' Thursday night victory against the Carolina Panthers, wide receiver Christian Watson suffered an injury while making a 53-yard catch in the second quarter. After landing hard on the football, Watson experienced difficulty breathing, coughed up blood, and was immediately taken to a local hospital via ambulance.
Preliminary tests on Watson's chest revealed no major issues, including internal bleeding, and he was cleared to return to the field. However, Watson sustained a broken rib, which was protected with extra padding and a molding during his return. His miraculous recovery was documented on Prime Video, drawing attention to the surreal sight of a player returning from the hospital to continue playing.
Watson finished the game with eight catches for 113 yards, including crucial plays that contributed to the Packers' victory.
