GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson won’t play in Sunday’s season opener at Chicago while he deals with a hamstring injury.
The Packers’ injury report Friday ruled Watson out for the Bears game and listed wide receiver Romeo Doubs as questionable.
Watson’s absence means Green Bay won’t have its top returning receiver when Jordan Love begins his first season as the Packers’ starting quarterback.
"We still had a whole week to kind of prepare for this, so I wouldn’t say that would alter the plan too drastically," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
