In the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers suffered some injuries to some key players, and one of them was Christian Watson who may now be out for the playoffs and beyond, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

“Sources: Packers standout WR Christian Watson is believed to have torn his ACL and suffered additional damage, ending his season and putting the beginning of 2025 in jeopardy. A frustrating reality for that talented pass-catcher,” Rapoport wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Watson suffered the right knee injury in the second quarter and was carted off to the locker room. The Packers will now possibly be without one of their key wide receivers for the postseason.

The Packers will most likely be down a receiver for the playoffs and the foreseeable future after going down with a noncontact injury in their Week 18 game against the Bears. Watson needed help to get off the field and was carted to the locker room after being examined in the medical tent. Watson had missed last week with a knee injury, but it was his left knee.

The Packers could have rested their starters, but head coach Matt LaFleur decided against it and ended up playing most of them for just the first half. With being the No. 7 seed in the playoffs, the Packers will play the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round next week, but there will be uncertainties on who will be available. Jordan Love also suffered an injury against the Bears after landing on his right elbow.

From the looks of it, Love's injury doesn't sound serious, and there's a good chance that he'll play next week despite the severity. The Eagles are going into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the NFC, so the Packers will have their hands full.
