CHRISTIAN WATSON NEWS

Packers WR Christian Watson to search for answers to hamstring problem this offseason Christian Watson knows he must figure out the “root” of his hamstring problems and improve his availability for the Packers in 2024.

To undergo offseason testing Watson said Monday that he plans to undergo offseason medical testing to determine why he's battled recurring hamstring injuries in his NFL career, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Watson missed the last five games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, and though he managed to return for Green Bay's two playoff games, he was ineffective in those contests. His efforts culminated in securing one catch for 11 yards on two targets during Saturday's loss to the 49ers in the divisional round. It's worth noting that Watson also missed the first three games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, and that he was nicked up for a substantial portion of the year even while suiting up. resulting in a disappointing 28-422-5 receiving line (53 targets) across nine appearances. If Watson is able to gain some offseason information that helps him avoid future soft-tissue injuries, it would certainly help boost his prospects heading into Year 3.

Back at practice Wednesday Watson (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This marks Watson's first notable on-field work since straining his right hamstring in the later moments of a Week 13 win against the Chiefs. At the time of the injury, he had put together his most productive stretch of the season, accumulating 14 catches (on 20 targets) for 186 yards and four touchdowns and three carries for 16 yards between Weeks 11 and 13. Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) joined Watson in drills Wednesday, but it remains to be seen how the Packers list the trio of wide receivers on their first Week 18 practice report.

Missing fourth straight game Watson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a strained right hamstring, which hasn't allowed him to mix into drills in the meantime. He'll likely need to do so in order to have any chance of suiting up Week 18 against the Bears, but the Packers' receiving corps this Sunday will be composed of Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton with Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) also sitting out.

Listed as doubtful Watson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Matt LaFleur said Watson would need to return to practice Friday to have any chance of avoiding a fourth straight missed game. With that not happening, the second-year wideout is highly unlikely to play, potentially leaving Malik Heath in a significant role given that Dontayvion Wicks (chest) is listed as questionable and appears no better than 50/50 to play. The Packers at least get Jayden Reed (toe/chest) back this Sunday, as he avoided a Week 17 designation after sitting out Week 16.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Watson (hamstring) took part in Wednesday's team stretch but ultimately didn't join his teammates for practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Impact Watson's next on-field work will mark his first since straining his right hamstring in the waning moments of the Packers' Week 13 win against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, fellow wide receivers Jayden Reed (toe/chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) were able to practice Wednesday, so Green Bay's receiving corps may be inching closer to 100 percent as it prepares for Sunday's NFC North showdown at Minnesota.

Sitting out again Sunday Watson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact This was more or less a guarantee because Watson hasn't practiced since injuring his right hamstring Week 13 against the Chiefs and was listed as doubtful ahead of Week 15 action. In Watson's absence, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Bo Melton will be the wide receivers available to Packers quarterback Jordan Love on Sunday.

Packers' Christian Watson out Monday night against Giants with hamstring injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson won’t play Monday night against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Unsure of Week 14 status Watson, who officially didn't practice Thursday, said he isn't sure whether he'll be able to play Monday at the Giants, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Watson added that he'd like to return as soon as he can, but the right hamstring injury that he suffered this past Sunday against the Chiefs likely will require too much time to recover ahead of Week 14 action, per Ryan Wood of USA Today. If Watson ends up sitting out Monday, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed (chest), Dontayvion Wicks and Malik Heath will serve as the Packers' primary wide receivers.
