Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson won’t play Monday night against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury.
The Packers issued an injury report Saturday that ruled Watson out for the game. Watson hurt his hamstring late in the fourth quarter of the Packers 27-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Watson scored two touchdowns and had seven catches for 71 yards against the Chiefs before his injury. He has scored four touchdowns during the Packers’ three-game winning streak and has 28 catches for 422 yards and five scores this season.
Packers’ linebacker Quay Walker (shoulder) is doubtful for Monday night’s game with the Giants (4-8). Cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder), running back Aaron Jones (knee), safety Darnell Savage (chest) and cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) are questionable.
Walker played every defensive snap for the Packers (6-6) in the Chiefs game and has a team-high 92 tackles this season. Alexander has missed four straight games and Jones has sat out two consecutive games.Savage just returned to action on Sunday after missing five games with a calf injury.
Stokes is on injured reserve and has appeared in just one game this season, but he was a full participant in practice this week. The 2021 first-round pick returned from a foot injury to play four special-teams snaps in an Ot. 22nd loss at Denver, but he hurt his hamstring that day and hasn’t played since.
Kickoff is at 7:15 with the pregame starting at 5:00 and can be heard on FM 1023, The Bug.
