In 2023, Packers receiver Christian Watson had 28 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns in his second NFL season. However, he missed eight games due to hamstring injuries, and the team is determined to prevent a repeat of that situation. This week, Watson visited a lab in Madison to address the issue and received a detailed diagnosis and insight into his physical condition in hopes of finding solutions to prevent future injuries.
When he is on the field, Watson is a valuable asset to the team. The goal is to have him available for every game in the upcoming season. Coach Matt LaFleur emphasized the team’s commitment to exploring all possible measures to reduce the risk of injury for Watson. The receiver is working diligently in Florida to ensure he is in peak physical condition for the season.
LaFleur acknowledged the challenges of soft-tissue injuries in football and emphasized the team’s efforts to control what they can, including training loads and practices to minimize such injuries. The Packers are taking every possible step to keep Watson healthy and ready for action in 2024.
