Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur admitted there will be a challenge ahead for rookie wide receiver Christian Watson, who has missed the first five practices of training camp – and will likely miss more – while on the PUP list with a knee injury.
LaFleur specifically pointed to some of the pre-snap adjustments within the Packers offense that are best learned by a young player while on the field in a practice environment.
“Yeah, it’s tough, because there’s nothing like getting those real live reps, even if it’s in a walkthrough situation,” LaFleur said Monday.
