A healthy Green Bay Packers team was the number one priority heading into the final week of the regular season. Taking down the Chicago Bears in an attempt to improve to the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs came in second.
However, on one play in the first half against the Chicago Bears, two of Green Bay’s best players were injured.
“Oh My God” Packers WR Christian Watson Suffers Worst Case Scenario In Week 18 Vs Bears
In the first half of their game against Chicago, wide receiver Christian Watson went down with this non-contact injury:

Watson spent time in the blue medical tent on the sideline before being carted back to the locker room for further evaluation. As Watson was being carried from the sideline, he covered his face.
With a knee injury, Watson was listed as questionable to return, however we was later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Watson fell to the ground clutching his right knee. When he faced the New Orleans Saints on Dec. 23, he suffered a bone bruise on his left knee.
Here is a look at Watson’s stats this season:
