The Packers believe WR Christian Watson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 4 loss to the Vikings, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Watson is scheduled for a Monday MRI to confirm that diagnosis. A high-ankle sprain would very likely cost Watson multiple games.
WR Dontayvion Wicks would be the biggest winner of Watson's absence. He'd been the No. 4 WR in terms of playing time through three weeks but became a full-time player after Watson exited the Vikings game. Wicks wound up leading the Packers with 13 targets, catching five of them for 78 yards and two TDs.

WR Jayden Reed, WR Romeo Doubs, and TE Tucker Kraft could also see target boosts with Watson out.
