INJURIES
Packers rule out WR Christian Watson with injury Watson was hurt in the first quarter on a play that resulted in a Vikings interception.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Ruled out of Week 4 Watson won't return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to an ankle injury.
Impact On the first of Jordan Love's two interceptions in the first half, Watson's legs were bent back awkwardly, and he remained on the turf for a few minutes before walking off the field under his own power. He then needed a cart to get to the locker room. For the rest of Week 4, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath will be tasked with WR assignments that don't go to starters Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs.

Injures ankle Sunday Watson (ankle) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Vikings with an ankle injury.
Impact Prior to his exit on a cart, Watson did not record a catch. In his absence, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are available to handle the Packers' WR duties.

Makes most of two targets Watson recorded two receptions on two targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Titans.
Impact The Packers were unlikely to be aggressive through the air with Malik Willis under center for the second consecutive week, and they could afford to be even more conservative due to maintaining a significant lead for the majority of the contest. That limited Watson's opportunity, though he did manage catches of 37 and 30 yards in the first half. Jayden Reed has operated as the team's top pass catcher, though Watson should find more consistent production once Jordan Love (knee) can return.

No targets in Week 2 Watson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-10 win versus the Colts.
Impact The Packers offense was without Jordan Love (knee) for the first of potentially multiple games, so there were bound to be significant changes to the breakdown of touches with Malik Willis leading the way. However, Watson wasn't on the receiving end of any of Willis' 14 passes, and none of the team's 53 carries were allotted to him, while fellow WRs Jayden Reed and even Bo Melton were a part of the rushing attack with two apiece. As for the passing game, WRs Dontayvion Wicks (four), Romeo Doubs (three) and Reed (two) and TE Tucker Kraft (two) were the only pass catchers to record multiple targets. Such game plans may be the norm for Green Bay for as long as Love is sidelined, meaning Watson will be difficult to trust next Sunday at Tennessee.

Quiet in season opener Watson recorded three catches on five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown against Philadelphia in Friday's Week 1 loss.
Impact Watson finished with the fewest targets, catches and yards among Green Bay's wideout trio that also includes Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs, though he salvaged his performance from a fantasy perspective with a two-yard touchdown grab in the third quarter. The North Dakota State product has shown a nose for the end zone in his NFL career thus far, as Friday's score was his 15th (13 receiving and two rushing) through 24 regular-season games. Despite his low yardage total Friday, Watson finished with just one fewer target than Reed and two fewer that Doubs, and there figures to be a pretty even target share among the trio as the season progresses. However, the potency of the Packers' passing game could suffer if QB Jordan Love, who had to leave the contest in the final seconds of the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury, is forced to miss time.

Avoids trouble with knee Watson is expected to practice Thursday after getting hit on the knee at the end of Wednesday's practice, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse 105.5 FM reports.
Impact Watson apparently meant it when he downplayed his knee bruise after Wednesday's practice. It looks like it won't cost him any reps, and the more important thing is that he's avoided hamstring injuries (or any other muscular issues) throughout the offseason and now into training camp. There's still some question about target volume in an offense with so many weapons, but Watson's combination of height and speed should make him an important part of the offense as long as he avoids the hamstring problems that plagued him in his first two professional seasons. The Packers are optimistic that Watson figured out the root cause of those problems and then addressed the muscular imbalance/asymmetry with his legs.

Downplays practice injury Watson, who relayed that he took a hit to the knee on the last play of practice Wednesday, downplayed the issue afterward, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Impact "It's a little sore, but it's just a bruise, so nothing that's going to stop me from doing anything," Watson noted, while adding, "right now, it's died down a lot, so if we had a practice right now, then I think I would be good to go." While the wideout evidently avoided a concerning injury, it remains to be seen if he'll see action in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns, with coach Matt LaFleur having previously stated that the Packers will be cautious in that context with players dealing with minor injuries.
