With about 3 minutes to play and the Packers nursing a 24-19 lead, Christian Watson caught a little flip from quarterback Jordan Love, turned on the jets and raced around the left edge of the Chiefs’ defense.

With the first down secured, Watson gave himself up to stay inbounds and keep the clock rolling. Instead, his right hamstring gave way.

Watson missed the first three games of the season with an injured right hamstring. Coach Matt LaFleur said the team will get a better handle on the injury on Monday, according to the story. Watson was seemingly starting to find his way with QB Jordan Love and caught a TD pass against the Chiefs. We'll continue to update the situation but owners may want to prepare to be without Watson.

Jordan Love has thrown three touchdowns and six interceptions during the Packers recent losing streak, but head coach Matt LaFleur showed no doubts about the quarterback’s ability during his Monday press conference. LaFleur said Love has done enough “to show me that it’s all right there” and that it will be a collective effort to get the offense where it needs to go.

Injuries have made for a lot of shuffling of the parts around Love so far this year, the story said. However, it also pointed out Love needs to make plays under any circumstances. It's unlikely the Packers move in another direction as Clifford is the team's backup, a surprise draft pick out of Penn State this past season who is actually a year older than Love. The Packers get the Vikings in Week 8 and it should be a favorable matchup, despite the Vikings holding off the 49ers on MNF in Week 7.

Watson has yet to suit up this season, but says he's going to play on a short week, Thursday night game against the Lions. Watson was considered close after logging limited practices leading up to Week 3. The contest could feature a lot of points and Watson would provide a nice boost for Love. Assuming he does play, it would remain to be seen if Watson jumps right back into action fully. Owners should be sure to check out our rankings and projections for Watson this week.

While Christian Watson got most of the attention for his big plays late last season, Doubs has seemingly become quarterback Jordan Love's go-to guy -- at least in the offseason practices. Whether it's in scripted team periods or move-the-ball drills like the two-minute simulation, Doubs has been targeted time and again. Don't forget, it was Doubs who starred last preseason when Love got all the No. 1 reps in the games because Aaron Rodgers didn't play. And Doubs was off to a strong start last year as a rookie until a midseason ankle injury changed his trajectory.

If Doubs becomes a target-hungry 1-2 punch with Watson, this inevitably pushes the rest of the Packers' options down the pecking order, most notably Jayden Reed. Reed was a second-round selection in this year's draft, but that doesn't automatically mean he will be an integral fantasy piece. This is a situation with fantasy ramifications that we need to keep an eye on.

The #Packers have agreed to terms with QB Jordan Love on a new contract through 2024. Hours before the deadline for Green Bay to exercise Love’s option, the sides instead agree to a one-year extension that replaces Love’s existing deal.

Eight days after shipping Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, the Packers locked in Love for one more year. The team didn't take any of the receivers they were linked with in the first round, but they added a tight end in round two and wide receivers in the second, fifth, and seventh rounds.

If the offensive line can stay healthy, they can easily be a top-10 unit, and Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are still there as a fantastic one-two punch. Love is clearly still unproven but his infrastructure is probably better than many are giving him credit with.

The Bears defense sets up well for any quarterback, let alone Aaron Rodgers, who has a history of carving them up throughout his career. He is in play as a QB1 for Week 13

Aaron Rodgers said he understands that a conversation will almost certainly be had about his status for the remainder of the season.

That's in large part because of Jordan Love, the third-year backup quarterback who hasn't played much meaningful football in his career. He showed some promise in relief of Rodgers after he left Sunday's game against the Eagles because of the rib injury.

Rodgers said he'd love to finish out the season but understands, "this is a business and there's a lot of us kind of older guys who play a decent amount and they might want to see some younger guys play." He said if the conversation comes up he'd, "approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment." The Packers are 4-8 and hope is fading fast for a playoff berth.

“I got good news with the scans yesterday," the tweet on to quote Rodgers. The team has said all along they would start Rodgers assuming he's good enough to play. We know we can't always count on what a player says about his own health, but it appears Rodgers could be on track to go in Week 13 in a good matchup against the Bears. Depending on what else we learn about the injury, owners will have to at least think about the possibility of Rodgers reaggravating the injury if he does play.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hinted that his right thumb might be broken during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and he confirmed it while speaking with reporters in Green Bay on Wednesday.

Rodgers said that he’s played with other broken fingers in the past, but that this is the first time he’s dealt with a broken thumb.

According to the story, Rodgers said surgery was never a consideration and that he thinks he’s played through other injuries that have had more of an impact on his play. Owners who have stuck with Rodgers to this point may want to pay attention to this. With playoff hopes fading, it remains to be seen if the Packers stick with Rodgers for the rest of the season.

If there is anything the Packers (4-7) would like to see from here to the finish line in the final six games of what looks like a lost season -- other than perhaps some game action for backup quarterback Jordan Love -- it’s more of what the rookie receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs can do together.

Fifty-two snaps. That’s all Watson and Doubs have played together this season. Eleven games into the season, and the rookie receivers have been on the field at the same time for what amounts to less than one full game, the story said.
