Christian Watson Injury: Rookie WR Ruled Out With Concussion

The Packers ruled out rookie speedster wideout Christian Watson after he suffered a concussion on a 12-yard reception in the first quarter.

Based on Watson's apparent loss-of-consciousness after the head-on collision with Bills' safety Damar Hamlin, Watson is also unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Lions, according to the Pro Football Docs.

The 22-year-old was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power. This is his first career reported concussion.

The second-round pick out of North Dakota State returned tonight after missing three of the last five games with a hamstring injury. 

No. 1 wide receiver Allen Lazard suffered a shoulder injury in Week 7 and was ruled out against the Bills.
