Green Bay Packers’ wide receiver Christian Watson, who averages an impressive 21.4 yards per reception, sustained a knee injury during a 14-yard end-around run in the second quarter of the team’s 34-0 victory over the Saints. Despite the injury, tests revealed no structural damage, just a bruise. Coach Matt LaFleur expressed optimism about Watson’s potential participation in the upcoming game against the Vikings. Watson played seven more plays after the injury but was sidelined for the remainder of the game. The Packers, with an 11-4 record, have clinched a playoff spot, and their game against the 13-2 Vikings could influence NFC playoff seedings. Other injuries include safety Evan Williams with a quad injury, cornerback Jaire Alexander missing his fifth game, nickel defensive back Javon Bullard out for his second game, and linebacker Quay Walker also sidelined. The team’s first practice of the week is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
