“I’m not going to say it’s my fault, but it’s my body, so I need to take accountability for it,” said the receiver on Monday.

One of the more disappointing sophomore slumps in the NFL this season was Green Bay Packers  wide receiver Christian Watson, who was on absolute fire to end his rookie campaign in 2022. From the Dallas Cowboys  game on last year, a total of eight games, Watson recorded 31 receptions for 523 yards (65.4 yards per game) and seven touchdowns. This year, in part due to hamstring injuries that left him inactive multiple times this season, he had just 28 receptions for 422 yards and five touchdowns during the entire regular season.


Two Aprils ago, the Packers thought enough of Watson that they traded two second-round picks for the opportunity to draft him. Now, they just need to figure out how to keep him on the field.


According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Ryan Wood , Watson told the media on Monday that he is expected to go through advanced testing this offseason to figure out a plan of action for his hamstring issues. Per Wood, Watson stated, “I’m not going to say it’s my fault, but it’s my body, so I need to take accountability for it.”


In his end-of-the-year press conference, head coach Matt LaFleur also confirmed that the team would be a part of Watson’s process. LaFleur said that the team’s head trainer Bryan “Flea” Engel, would be traveling with Watson this offseason as he gets scans on his hamstring.


LaFleur said that “Flea” “has a plan in place” for Watson and that Watson “is an impact player” when he’s able to be on the field. Hopefully, Watson can put these issues behind him beginning with the 2024 season, but the team has to get an answer on whether these issues will be reoccurring. With Romeo Doubs being the consistent man in Green Bay’s receivers room over the last two years and the 2023 breakouts of Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton, getting certainty on Watson’s injury situation should be able to allow the team to split their reps at the position accordingly. With such a young group at the position, it’s important that development opportunities actually match who they expect to see on the field next season.

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (12h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (13h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (13h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (13h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (13h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (13h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (13h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (13h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (13h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (14h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (14h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (14h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (14h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (14h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (14h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (14h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (14h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (14h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (14h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (14h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (15h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (15h) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
