Packers get encouraging Christian Watson injury update

The Green Bay Packers destroyed the New Orleans Saints in their Week 16 matchup, with the final score settling in at 34-0. While pretty much everything went the Packers way, they were dealt a potentially devastating injury when star wide receiver Christian Watson was forced out of the game early with a knee injury.

Watson is arguably Green Bay's top big-play threat, so being without him for a period of time could have been catastrophic. Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated after the game that there was some concern regarding Watson's injury, but he changed course on Tuesday afternoon, saying that Watson had only suffered a knee bruise, and that he could potentially play in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings.
