Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was injured while attempting to catch a deep ball from Jordan Love during the third quarter of Sunday’s showdown with the Denver Broncos. The pass was intercepted, and Watson landed hard on his left shoulder.
Watson was evaluated on the field for a few minutes and then evaluated again on the sideline before exiting the field for the locker room.
The Packers say Watson is questionable to return with a chest injury.
Watson caught three passes for 29 yards before the injury. He came into Sunday with five touchdown catches in his last four games, including a pair of scores during the Packers’ win over the Chicago Bears last week at Lambeau Field.
Watson was playing in his eighth game since returning from an ACL injury suffered in January. He had 25 catches for 452 yards and five scores entering Sunday.
