Green Bay Packers wideout Christian Watson was in the middle of yet another big game for his team on Thursday with 100 yards against the Carolina Panthers, but he left the game after a chest injury, with the receiver initially questionable to return.
After an incomplete pass to Watson from Jordan Love, Watson left the game and was seen getting into an ambulance. The team later announced he was "being taken to the hospital for precautionary testing" due to a chest injury.
No word beyond that as of publishing this but we'll update it if and when we know more. UPDATE: There is a new update below.
