The Green Bay Packers may be without one of their top offensive weapons on Sunday.
Wide receiver Christian Watson was a non-participant for a second straight day on Thursday. He’s currently dealing with a hamstring injury.

If Watson doesn’t practice on Friday, his chances of playing will get down to near zero.
He would be a big loss for a Packers team that’s heading into the first season of the Jordan Love era. Watson finished the 2022 season with 41 receptions for 611 yards and seven touchdowns.
His 611 yards were second on the team behind Allen Lazard, who is now with the New York Jets.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to practice on Friday since the Packers have a big-time NFC North showdown with the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Kickoff will be at 4:25 p.m. ET and it’ll be televised by FOX.
Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will be on the call.
