Christian Watson Fine After Collision

Christian Watson Fine After Collision

4 months ago

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watsonis fine after a collision that happened during Monday's practice, per head coach Matt LaFleur. Watson suffered an injury scare during Monday's session, but he is back on the field at training camp on Tuesday. After being drafted as Green Bay's No. 1 wideout in last summer's fantasy drafts, the 25-year-old former second-round pick is instead coming off the board a bit after slot receiver Jayden Reed in 2024. Watson has dealt with recurring hamstring injuries in the past and will need to stay healthy for any chance at a breakout season this year, but he's likely the Packers' most explosive option after ranking sixth among qualifying wideouts in average target distance (15.4) over 53 targets in 2023.
