Despite being taken out of the stadium in an ambulance on Sunday, Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson will practice on Wednesday.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated in his pre-practice press conference on Wednesday that receiver Christian Watson, who left Sunday’s game with a chest injury and was taken out of the stadium in an ambulance, is expected to practice today. The Packers will run a modified practice on Wednesday after having a walkthrough on Tuesday.
After the game, Watson’s father took to social media to tell the world that the receiver was “fine.” It sure sounds like he had a pretty good source.
LaFleur said earlier in the week that all of Green Bay’s injuries, outside of Micah Parsons’ ACL tear, are more day-to-day injuries that will be game-time decisions for the team. Beyond Watson, LaFleur also mentioned that defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) and receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), who were non-participants on Tuesday, are expected to suit up in practice today, too.
That should leave the following players as non-participants:
- RB Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle)
- RB MarShawn Lloyd (calf/hamstring – IR)
- TE Josh Whyle (concussion)
- RT Zach Tom (back/knee)
- DE Micah Parsons (knee – soon to be on IR)
- S Evan Williams (knee)
Parsons has yet to be placed on an injury list as of yet, but he will be taken off the 53-man roster whenever the team needs to make a move. The Packers only have a week left to call up either running back MarShawn Lloyd (it’s not looking good), defensive end Collin Oliver and/or defensive end Brenton Cox Jr. from injury lists before their practice windows expire and they revert to season-ending injured reserve.
Depending on the status of Josh Jacobs and Josh Whyle, though, Green Bay might need that extra roster spot to call up a practice squad running back and/or tight end. Keep an eye on those positions as we inch toward kickoff against the Chicago Bears.
