Packers aren’t concerned about rookie WR Christian Watson missing time

The Green Bay Packers know rookie Christian Watson is missing valuable time as he recovers from a knee injury on the PUP list, but everyone is confident he’ll catch up quickly – given his intelligence and athleticism – once he’s back on the field.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he’s not worried at all about Watson’s absence.

“It’s not a big concern. He’s a really smart kid,” Rodgers said. “He is a smart kid. It’d be nice to get him off the PUP so he could do some of the walkthrough stuff, but he’ll be fine.
