Report: Packers fear torn ACL for WR Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is believed to have suffered a torn ACL and additional damage to his right knee, NFL Network reported Monday.

Watson sustained the noncontact injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears. The injury would likely force Watson to miss the beginning of the 2025 season.

Watson was carted off the field and initially ruled questionable to return before being downgraded to out. Watson missed the Packers’ Week 17 game against the Minnesota Vikings with a left knee injury.

Watson had 29 catches for 620 yards and two touchdowns in 15 starts this season. He has 98 receptions for 1,653 yards and 14 TDs in 38 career games (35 starts) since being selected in the second round of the 2022 draft.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love was held out of the second half against the Bears as a precaution after injuring his throwing elbow, but coach Matt LaFleur said postgame that he will be good to go for the team’s NFC wild-card game Sunday at Philadelphia.
