The Green Bay Packers ruled out wide receiver Christian Watson for their season opener Sunday against the host Chicago Bears.
Watson had missed practice all week due to a hamstring injury.
Fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs, also hampered by a hamstring injury, was limited Thursday and Friday and listed questionable for the game.
Watson was an early second-round pick of the Packers in the 2022 draft and entered his sophomore season as the team's No. 1 wideout. He hauled in 41 catches for 611 yards and seven touchdowns and added two rushing touchdowns as a rookie playing with Aaron Rodgers.
