Packers WR Christian Watson suffers knee injury vs. Bears

Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson went down with a non-contact injury while running a route in the second quarter of Sunday’s season finale against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.

After spending time in the blue medical tent on the sideline, Watson was carted back to the locker room for further evaluation. The FOX broadcast showed Watson covering his face while being carted from the sideline.

The Packers listed Watson as questionable to return with a knee injury. He could be ruled out after halftime if the injury is serious.

Watson tumbled to the ground and appeared to be clutching his right knee. He suffered a bone bruise on his left knee on Dec. 23 against the New Orlean Saints.

The Packers will play in the NFC Wild Card Round next weekend. Judging by the initial reaction to Watson’s injury, the Packers will likely be without their speedy receiver to open the postseason.

Quarterback Jordan Love went out on the same drive as Watson with what the Packers are calling an elbow injury. He is also questionable to return.
