Christian Watson Delivers Huge Night Before Exiting

Christian Watson Delivers Huge Night Before Exiting

12 months ago

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was continuing his recent resurgence before going down with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Week 13's 27-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Watson collected a season-high seven of his nine targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns with two carries for 15 yards before his night ended. Watson appeared to be trying to burn some clock on a 24-yard Jordan Love touch pass as the Packers nursed a late lead on Sunday, but he pulled up lame near the end of the play while clutching at his right hamstring. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old, who was finally starting to free himself from a funk that plagued him for most of the year after a bad hamstring cost him the season's first three games. Watson's practice status will be one to monitor during Week 14 preparation, but he'll at least have an extra day to heal for a favorable matchup next Monday night against the New York Giants.
