In a major setback for the Green Bay Packers offense, wide receiver Christian Watson is expected to miss more than three months after suffering a significant injury during offseason workouts, according to a statement from his doctor.

Watson’s medical team confirmed earlier today that the injury stemmed from a serious fall, which had a direct impact on his lower body, affecting key muscle groups and ligaments.

“The fall caused more structural damage than initially anticipated,” said Dr. Elena Grayson, the orthopedic specialist overseeing Watson’s care. “Recovery will require a combination of rest, targeted rehabilitation, and time — we estimate a minimum of 12 to 14 weeks before he can return to full football activity.”

The 24-year-old receiver had been hoping to enter the upcoming NFL season fully healthy after battling hamstring issues throughout last year. His blend of size, speed, and explosiveness has made him a key weapon for quarterback Jordan Love, and his absence now creates a significant hole in the Packers’ receiving corps.

Sources inside the organization say Watson is focused on recovery and determined to return stronger.

“It’s frustrating, but I’m trusting the process,” Watson reportedly told a teammate. “I’ve come back before — I’ll do it again.”

The Packers are now expected to evaluate depth options at wide receiver and may turn to younger players or free agents to fill the gap while Watson recovers.

Fans, concerned but hopeful, have taken to social media using the hashtag #GetWellWatson, with many offering words of support and encouragement for the young star.

This story is developing, and further updates on Christian Watson’s rehab timeline and the Packers’ next steps are expected in the coming days.
