The Green Bay Packers and Jordan Love are preparing for their Sunday matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The New York Giants brutally defeated the Packers on Monday night. a contest that many thought the Packers ought to have won.
Against the Giants, Green Bay was without several of its best players, including Aaron Jones, Jaire Alexander, Christian Watson, and Luke Musgrave. Quarterback Jordan Love discussed Christian Watson’s absence on Wednesday.
Watson has missed four games this season due to hamstring injuries—three during the season’s start and one more following a recurrence. Watson was becoming established as the team’s top option before he was hurt during the Packers’ Week 13 victory over Kansas City.
Regarding Christian Watson’s injury, Love remarked, “I think it is tough anytime you don’t have your best guys out there.” However, we have practiced with other members of our offensive for so long that I and other guys feel quite comfortable. However, as you pointed out, it really is that attitude of “next man up.” Of course, it’s difficult. Your best people should always be on the field.
However, things do happen. Football is being played. Accidents do occur. You simply need to move on and stop making excuses. Naturally, make yourself as comfortable as possible during the week by doing repetitions and similar exercises. Make sure we’re giving it our all when we go out there.
When the Packers play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, Watson might not return.
Even though Watson didn’t practice on Thursday, a lot of supporters are hoping that his re-injured hamstring won’t keep him out of multiple games. With a record of 6-7, the Packers are fighting for the final NFC playoff place.
Prior to his injury, Watson had assisted the team in victories over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions in the previous two weeks. In those two games, he caught 12 passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns. It will be crucial for this club to get him healthy again as they aim for the playoffs.
