Christian Watson injury update: Packers WR taken to hospital with chest injury

  • On Thursday, October 29, 2026, during Thursday Night Football, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson and Carolina Panthers cornerback Will Lee sustained injuries on the same play in the second quarter.
  • Watson landed hard on the ball after his 53-yard reception, while Lee injured his left hamstring while in coverage during the collision.
  • The Packers initially listed Watson as questionable with a chest injury before transporting him via ambulance to a local hospital for "precautionary testing," Amazon sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung reported.
  • Lee was carted to the locker room and ruled doubtful to return with a hamstring injury, deepening Carolina's cornerback crisis with three already on injured reserve.
  • Before his exit, Watson recorded six catches for 100 yards, bringing his season total to 695 receiving yards, as the Packers held a 13-10 lead.
