Even with the injuries, the Packers were tied 20-20 late in the third quarter. The Packers will need to find a way to score while missing two starters at offensive tackle and two explosive playmakers on special teams and wide receiver.
(Update)
Watson has been ruled out for the rest of the game against the Dolphins.
