Christan Watson’s Mysterious Hospital Visit Leaves Packers Fans on Edge Before Crucial Game

The Green Bay Packers endured a tough showdown in Denver, and while the loss stings, the latest news on their injury front brings a flicker of relief amid the gloom. Micah Parsons, the dynamic edge rusher, appears sidelined for the season with a devastating ACL injury—a brutal blow for the team’s defense. Yet, amidst the setbacks, Christian Watson’s situation offers a silver lining; although taken off for a chest injury evaluation, he’s set to travel back with the squad, signaling that his condition might not be as severe as feared. Watson, coming off a grueling comeback from a torn ACL last year, has shown impressive resilience—making 25 catches for 452 yards and five touchdowns in seven games this season alone. As the Packers regroup, the hope now is that Watson’s health doesn’t take a further hit, even as Parsons’ loss looms large. LEARN MORE

While the Packers have likely lost edge rusher Micah Parsons for the rest of the season, they at least got some positive news for their flight home from Denver.

Via multiple reporters, Green Bay noted that receiver Christian Watson will travel back to Green Bay with the team after he was taken to a local hospital for evaluation after suffering a chest injury during the loss to the Broncos.

Watson exited the game in the third quarter after a Jordan Love deep pass intended for him was intercepted by Pat Surtain II.

Watson has played seven games this season after returning from a torn ACL suffered late in 2024. He entered Week 15 with 25 receptions for 452 yards with five touchdowns, adding three catches for 29 yards on Sunday.
