Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson was carted from the sideline to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s showdown with the Minnesota Vikings.

Watson was injured while attempting to make a catch on third down. He was bent backward awkwardly with his left leg and ankle trapped underneath him.

Watson walked off the field and was evaluated in the blue medical tent. The Packers then carted him to the locker room for further evaluation. He is listed as questionable to return.

Jordan Love’s pass intended for Watson was intercepted on the play. The Vikings ended the first quarter with a 14-0 lead and possession of the football.

Watson has five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown over the first three games of the 2024 season.

Due to hamstring injuries, Watson missed 10 games last season.
