Christian Watson returns from hospital, tops 100 yards in win

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (chest) had eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 113 yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.

Why It Matters: In something straight out of a WWE show, Watson left Lambeau Field in an ambulance on Thursday night to get examined for a chest injury. He was cleared to return, however, and ended up being drive back from the hospital to make what was essentially a game-sealing catch on Green Bay’s final drive of the night. Despite missing a significant chunk of the game, Watson still led all players in receptions (8) and receiving yards (113), though he did finish without a touchdown for a third straight game. Despite the scoring drought, Watson has earned a spot as a low-end WR1.
