Packers leaving door open for WR Christian Watson to play vs. Vikings

Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson injured his knee on Monday night and didn’t practice all week, but coach Matt LaFleur said the window remains “open” for Watson to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Packers listed Watson as questionable to play on the final injury report released Friday.

“It’s still open,” LaFleur said. “He’s getting better.”

LaFleur said on Thursday that Watson is experienced enough to play a game without practicing during the week, although it is somewhat rare for a player to not practice and still play — especially on a short week coming off a Monday night game.
