Christian Watson taken to the locker room with ankle injury

Christian Watson taken to the locker room with ankle injury

There’s another injury concern for Packers wide receiver Christian Watson.

Watson was carried to the locker room from the Green Bay sideline. He is doubtful to return with an ankle injury.

Watson was injured on a play where quarterback Jordan Love tried to force the ball on him in a very tight window. Watson collided with a few Vikings defenders and got his foot stuck under one of them. While Watson was able to leave the field under his own power, he was carried to the locker room from the sideline.

To add insult to injury, Minnesota linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill intercepted Love’s pass, giving Minnesota an extra possession.

The Vikings took full advantage of the opportunity, with receiver Jordan Addison completing an 8-yard sweep for a touchdown, giving Minnesota a 21-0 lead with 11:50 left in the second quarter.
