Christian Watson Returns After Precautionary Hospital Testing

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson returned to the game after precautionary hospital testing following a second-quarter collision with Carolina Panthers cornerback Will Lee, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Watson was taken by ambulance to a local hospital after catching a 53-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Love. He was initially listed as questionable to return with a chest injury. The team said the hospital visit was precautionary; a broadcast report later said tests cleared him to return. Watson then came back to Lambeau Field and played. The reports do not establish a diagnosis or whether he will miss any subsequent game time. The collision occurred as Watson made the catch and Lee came down on him. Both players remained on the ground, and Watson was seen holding his chest while Lee clutched his left hamstring. Watson walked toward the locker room before entering an ambulance. Lee was helped to the sideline and taken by cart to the locker room. Watson’s reception covered 53 yards and helped set up a one-yard touchdown run by Packers running back Josh Jacobs. The catch brought Watson’s season total to 695 receiving yards, a career high at that...
