In 2023, Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson had an impressive second season in the NFL, with 28 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns. However, Watson missed eight games due to hamstring injuries, and the team is determined to prevent a repeat of that situation.
To address this issue, Watson visited a lab in Madison, where he received a detailed diagnosis and insight into his physical condition. The goal is to have him available for every game in the upcoming season, and the team is exploring all possible measures to reduce the risk of injury for Watson. LaFleur emphasized that they are committed to controlling what they can, including training loads and practices to minimize such injuries.
When on the field, Watson is a valuable asset to the team. He played diligently in Florida throughout the off-season to ensure he was in peak physical condition for the upcoming season. LaFleur acknowledged that soft-tissue injuries are common in football but emphasized their efforts to prevent them from happening again.
