NLF insiders update on Christian Watson's injury
Christian Watson had suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first quarter of their clash against the Vikings. Watson had gone for a catch and fell backwards, which saw his leg trapped underneath Minnesota's Kamu Grugier-Hill.
After the collision, Watson walked to the sidelines and then later on, was carted to the locker room for further evaluation. On Tuesday, 01st October, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on his X account that Watson had suffered a minor high ankle sprain. The good news for the Packers is that he isn't on the injured reserve list.
"Sources: #Packers WR Christian Watson has a high-ankle sprain, but I'm told it's a mild one, and he is "unlikely" to land on IR. That is really good news for both the Packers and Watson, especially considering how serious the injury initially appeared," Schultz on his X account.
If Watson was placed on the Injured reserve, he then had to miss four games but it seems he will make his return soon. Green Bay Packers will next take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5.
