The Green Bay Packers' big-play offense suffered a critical loss in their Week 18 finale against the Chicago Bears, with wide receiver Christian Watson suffering a torn ACL and other damage to his knee.

Watson averaged 21.4 yards per catch on 29 catches this season, but now the Packers will be without their best deep threat.

Matt LaFleur confirms that Packers receiver Christian Watson tore his anterior cruciate ligament and will be out the rest of the season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was carted off to the locker room after going down to an apparent non-contact injury. " #Packers WR Christian Watson is getting carted to the locker room after a non-contact injury," Meirov said on X.

Things have been pretty glum for the Packers since Sunday afternoon. After losing the regular season finale to the Bears in somewhat-embarrassing fashion, they're headed on the road to play one of the best teams in the NFC in the Wild Card round.

The 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.

Watson, a key deep threat in the Packers' offense, faces a challenging recovery that could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 season.

Christian Watson has a torn ACL and more damage in his knee after suffering a severe injury during the 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Beyond missing the playoffs, Watson's 2025 season is at risk as well.
