Packers' Christian Watson, Eric Stokes worked with hamstring specialists this offseason

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson and cornerback Eric Stokes have both suffered multiple hamstring injuries in their brief NFL careers. This offseason, they saw specialists in an attempt to fix their ongoing problems.

Along with members of the Packers' training staff, Watson and Stokes went to Badger Athletic Performance, which in 2021 received a $4 million grant from the NFL to study treatment and prevention of hamstring injuries. According to Packers.com, Watson and Stokes underwent high-tech testing that found that asymmetries in their leg strength could be contributing to their hamstring problems.
