Packers WR Christian Watson (ankle) could be headed for injured reserve

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has a high-ankle sprain, will miss multiple weeks moving forward and could land on injured reserve, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Watson suffered the left ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. On a contested throw, Watson got his leg trapped under a defender as he fell to the ground backwards — creating the injury mechanism.

Watson was able to walk off the field under his own power, but after an evaluation in the blue medical tent, the Packers carted him from the sideline to the locker room.
