Christian Watson Health, Injury Updates & History

Is believed to have torn his ACL in the final regular season game of 2024, ending his playoff run and putting in jeopardy the start of the 2025 campaign

Significant long term worry for Watson, same right knee he's injured before and went down on a non-contact injury while running a route, has officially been ruled out

There was some concern for Watson when it appeared he suffered an injury at the end of last week's game, he took a cleat to the shin but he has no injury designation for this week

A limited participant in practice on Wednesday, 10 days removed from suffering a left high-ankle sprain Week 4 against the Vikings that sidelined him this past Sunday at the Rams, Watson was able to return to the practice field, how Watson fares in practice Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether or not he's ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest vs the Cardinal

Officially designated as Doubtful for Week 5 against the Rams while recovering from a high ankle sprain, there was some optimism the injury wasn't more severe, but that didn't increase his chances of playing this week, he will continue to be monitored after this week

Will avoid being placed on Injured Reserve with the high ankle sprain he sustained on Sunday, while high ankle sprains usually require multi-week absences, the Packers don't believe it will be a four-week absence, but he is unlikely to play Week 5

Left high ankle sprain, there is no fracture, but he could still land on IR, he will continue to be monitored for a more official determination

By video, left high ankle sprain, trapped under defender, hobbled off field, then exits on cart, officially questionable and unlikely to return, potentially this could be a several week absence going forward

Christian Watson might miss the first preseason game after sustaining an injury scare after he went down ‘a little awkward’ in practice on August 7th. He returned 24 hours later and the injury was deemed ‘not too serious’.

Christian Watson missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. He sustained a right knee injury in Week 7 but was deemed fit to play in Week 8. However, a hamstring strain in Week 13 ended his regular season. Watson returned for Green Bay’s two playoff games, playing roughly 50% of the offensive snaps, about half his regular rotation during the regular season. He participated in a $4 million study at the University of Wisconsin, sponsored by the NFL, to study the mechanisms of hamstring injuries. Watson discovered that his hamstrings were 'asymmetrical' and is confident that this new understanding will help reduce the frequency of his hamstring issues.
