The Eagles are about an hour away from knowing their wild card weekend opponent, but the Packers’ most explosive pass catcher could be unavailable for that matchup.
Christian Watson was carted off with a knee injury, while Jordan Love was forced to exit the season finale against Chicago with a hand injury.

The Packers must beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday to avoid the Eagles and face an easier first-round foe (the division winner in the NFC South or NFC West) as the sixth seed.
The Commanders must lose to the Dallas Cowboys.
Currently, Washington leads Dallas 10-9 with 5:07 left in the third, while Chicago leads Green Bay 14-13 with 7:34 left in the third.
