Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson suffered a right knee injury during a non-contact play in the team's recent game. The extent of the damage is yet to be fully determined, but initial reports suggest it involves the ACL and possibly additional damage. Coach Matt LaFleur has expressed concerns about Watson's availability for the playoffs, and his injury could have implications for the remainder of the season and beyond.
Rob Demovsky, an NFL reporter for ESPN covering the Green Bay Packers since 1997, shared that sources indicate Watson is expected to undergo further tests to assess the extent of the damage to his right knee. While it's confirmed that Watson's ACL is injured, the source suggests there might be additional damage. Packers coach Matt LaFleur expressed concern about Watson's postseason availability after the game. LaFleur is scheduled to address reporters later Monday afternoon.
Watson's injury occurred during a non-contact play. He had previously missed a game due to a bruised left knee, but it's unclear if this had any connection to his right knee injury. Watson, a third-year player who started in all but two games this season, led the Packers in receiving yards with an average of 21.4 yards per catch. He caught 29 passes for 620 yards and two touchdowns, serving as the team's primary deep-threat receiver. His injury not only eliminates him from the playoffs, which begin Sunday, but also raises concerns about a significant portion of next season, coinciding with his final year under his rookie contract
