Bad news Packers fans.
Initial tests showed that the knee injury Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson sustained in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears was a torn ACL, a source told ESPN.
Both Watson and quarterback Jordan Love were taken off the field Sunday with injuries, though Love is expected to be okay in time for the playoffs.
Watson is a different story.
The ESPN source said that Watson was expected to undergo more tests to determine what other damage, if any, there is to his right knee and that no decision has been made on when or where Watson will have surgery.
NFL Network reported that there was believed to be more damage than just Watson's ACL. Packers coach Matt LaFleur indicated after the game that Watson's status for the postseason was not good.
"I'm not super confident about that right now," LaFleur said Sunday.
Watson was coming off a bruised left knee that forced him to miss the previous week's game at Minnesota.
The third-year pro led the Packers with a 21.4-yard average per catch. He caught 29 passes for 620 yards and two touchdowns and was the team's best deep-threat receiver.
The line on the Packers-Eagles game had moved from Philadelphia -3.5 to -4.5.
