Green Bay’s WR Watson to miss Week 1

Jordan Love‘s 1^st match as the Green Bay Packers QB1 will be at least without 1 of his top-2 receivers.

#Packers were 1-4 in games Christian Watson either didn’t play or was on the field for less than 25 percent of snaps last year. They scored 14 points in the lone win (at TB). Averaged 14.2 points in the four losses. Not great!

Christian Watson will be unavailable for the beginning of the new season against the Chicago Bears because of a hamstring problem, manager Matt LaFleur shared today.

The other wide receiver, Romeo Doubs, who has the same problems, will be a game-time decision, but the chances that he will play are higher than the ones that he will miss the opener.

Watson suffered the injury this week after being part of the training camp where he was available for each practice.

The head coach categorized the wide receiver’s injury as “hopefully just week to week,” meaning injured reserve might not be necessary. Christian must miss at least 4 matches if they put him in the OR. In the past campaign, the WR missed 3 matches with a hamstring problem.
