Christian Watson (hamstring) out again Thursday for Packers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) did not practice again on Thursday for Week 17 versus the Minnesota Vikings.
What It Means:
Watson is heading for a fourth consecutive missed game after sitting out back-to-back practices. Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) was also held out of practice again, but Jayden Reed (toe/chest) was able to log another limited session. Reed and Romeo Doubs will be the Packers' primary receivers if Watson and Wicks are both out.
The Vikings are allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the No. 17 pass defense in the NFL, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency metrics.
