### Packers Receiver Christian Watson Injured Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers' wide receiver Christian Watson is facing another setback due to injury. During a game against the Minnesota Vikings, Watson had to be carted off to the locker room after being hurt. The team is currently labeling his status as questionable, citing an ankle injury.

The incident occurred when quarterback Jordan Love attempted a risky pass aimed at Watson. As Watson contended with two Vikings defenders, he sustained the injury when his foot was caught beneath one of them. Despite walking off the field without assistance initially, he needed to be transported to the locker room from the sidelines.

Adding to the Packers' woes, the same play resulted in an interception by Minnesota linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill, giving the Vikings an extra possession. The Vikings seized this opportunity, with Jordan Addison scoring a touchdown on an 8-yard jet sweep. This extended Minnesota's lead to a commanding 21-0 with 11:50 remaining in the second quarter.

The Packers are now awaiting further updates on Watson's condition, as they hope to avoid another prolonged absence for their key receiver. The team will need to regroup quickly to counter the early advantage taken by the Vikings.
