Packers' Christian Watson Sidelined with High-Ankle Sprain

Green Bay wide receiver Christian Watson is expected to miss multiple games after suffering an ankle injury during the loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

  • Christian Watson was carted off the field after injuring his left ankle in the first quarter of the Packers' game against the Vikings.
  • Initial X-rays were negative, but further tests confirmed a high-ankle sprain, which could place Watson on injured reserve for four weeks.
  • Watson has struggled with injuries throughout his career, missing 10 games last season due to hamstring issues.
  • In Watson's absence, Dontayvion Wicks, who caught a team-leading third touchdown against the Vikings, is expected to see increased playing time.
  • The Packers will face the Rams, Cardinals, Texans, and Jaguars in the upcoming weeks, with Watson eligible to return for the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions.
