According to head coach Matt LaFleur, the Green Bay Packers will be without wide receiver Christian Watson in the season opener. Watson popped up on the injury report on Wednesday with a hamstring injury and hasn’t practiced in any of the three practices the Packers have held this week.
LaFleur stated that he hopes the injury is “just a week-to-week” one. As football fans know, though, hamstrings can linger throughout the season.
The only other player on the Packers’ 53-man roster who was given an injury designation for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears was receiver Romeo Doubs, who is also battling through a hamstring issue.
