Christian Watson (hamstring) remains out Thursday for Packers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) did not practice again on Thursday for Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
What It Means:
Watson has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 13 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Jayden Reed (toe) also remained out Thursday, so Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Malik Heath may be the Packers' top receivers in Carolina on Sunday.
The Panthers have the No. 18 pass defense and No. 30 run defense in numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings, so the Packers may look to focus more on the ground game even if their receivers are healthy. Wicks led the team with 97 yards on 6 catches and 7 targets last week.
