Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was cleared at a local hospital and is on his way back to Lambeau Field, according to a report from Amazon Prime. The team still lists him as questionable to return.
Watson was injured on a 53-yard reception with 9:11 left in the first half after Panthers cornerback Will Lee landed on him as he came down with the ball. He was taken by ambulance for evaluation, with the sternoclavicular joint cited as a possible concern.
The Packers initially listed Watson as questionable with a chest injury. He had recorded six catches for 100 yards in the game, bringing his season total to a career-high 695 receiving yards.
Panthers cornerback Will Lee, who was injured on the same play, has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. The Packers also ruled out tight end Josh Whyle due to a concussion. Later in the third quarter, Packers running back Josh Jacobs scored on a four-yard reception from Jordan Love, extending the lead to 27-10.
