Packers WR Christian Watson to miss opener with hamstring injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordan Love's first foray as the Green Bay Packers' full-time starting quarterback will take place without at least one of his top-two receivers.

Speedster Christian Watson was ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener at the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury, coach Matt LaFleur announced on Friday.

Fellow receiver Romeo Doubs, also dealing with a hamstring, was listed as questionable, but LaFleur indicated it was trending toward Doubs being available on Sunday.

Watson popped up on the injury report this week after making it through training camp without missing a single practice.
