GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Packers lost receiver Christian Watson to a left ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Watson was the intended target of a Jordan Love pass that was picked off by Vikings linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill, who cut in front of Watson. In the process, Watson's left leg got caught underneath him. After being down for a short time and attended to by the medical staff, Watson was able to walk off the field and into the injury tent under his own power.
However, after a brief examination in the tent, Watson was carted to the locker room.
Watson was not seen in the locker room after the game, but initial tests did not indicate fractures.
"I have talked to Christian, and he told me he thought it was just a sprain," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said after the loss.
Defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt also left the game with an ankle injury. He was seen in a boot after the game.
Watson had five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in his first three games this season but two of those games were in a limited passing attack with Malik Willis filling in for Love at quarterback.
The Packers trailed 28-7 at halftime on Sunday but stormed back with 22 points in the fourth quarter before falling just short.
