Green Bay Packers are endeavoring to resolve hamstring concerns ahead.
Prior to the season, it was widely believed that 2022 second round pick Christian Watson would step up to be the Packers’ number one wide receiver. After all, he is tall, he is fast, and he has all of the talent in the world to be a wide receiver one anywhere.
Unfortunately, Watson was plagued by hamstring injuries for much of the season. He missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring issue before putting up 28 receptions for 422 yards and five touchdowns in the next nine games.
He, along with the offense, were just starting to figure it out when he went down with another hamstring injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. At the time he went down in the game, he had seven receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns. The week before, Thanksgiving in Detroit, he had five receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately, this particular injury cost Watson the rest of the regular season. He is working with a hamstring specialist this offseason to figure out how to prevent anymore injuries, but there are a faction of Packers fans that are ready to give up on him (probably the same ones that wanted Davante Adams cut after two seasons).
