Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has torn his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and won't be available for any of the postseason. Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the severity of Watson's injury Monday. The 2022 second-round pick from North Dakota State was carted into the locker room in the second quarter of a 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears. The injury leaves Green Bay without its top deep threat as the Packers go on the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round Sunday. Watson had 29 catches for 620 yards and two touchdowns this season.
