Another Packers wide receiver is injured
The Green Bay Packers got news earlier this week with Christian Watson returning to practice. Watson’s return was expected to bolster the Packers’ wide receiver room, which is shorthanded with injuries. Unfortunately for the Packers, Watson was injured in the first quarter of their game against the Buffalo Bills.
According to a statement by the Packers, Watson has been ruled out of the game with a concussion.

Watson appeared to be a big part of the Packers’ game plan in Week 8. He was injured after his first reception, a 12-yard gain on a third-and-15. Here’s a video of the hit:

This is yet another frustrating set back for the 3-4 Packers, who entered Week 8 on a three-game losing streak. Without Watson, the Packers trailed the Bills early in the second quarter 14-0.
