USA Today • • sports
Key Points:
- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson suffered a chest injury after a 53-yard catch against the Carolina Panthers during Thursday Night Football and was taken to a hospital for precautionary testing.
- Watson exited the game after six catches for 100 yards and a lost fumble; he was able to leave the field under his own power but remained questionable to return.
- Bo Melton is listed as Watson's official backup, but the Packers are likely to rely more on Matthew Golden and Savion Williams to fill the receiver roles following Watson's exit.
- Golden saw increased playing time after Watson's injury and scored a 24-yard touchdown before halftime, while Williams contributed with limited targets and leads the team in rushing yards.
