Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has suffered a high-ankle sprain but will not be placed on injured reserve, indicating the team's belief that he won't miss multiple games. Despite this, he is unlikely to participate in practice this week and is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Rams. In his absence, other receivers will have increased roles. Watson has also been working on his leg strength to address past hamstring injuries, aiming for a healthier season ahead.

• Watson's high-ankle sprain will not lead to an IR stint, suggesting a quicker recovery.
• His absence will lead to increased opportunities for other Packers receivers.
• Watson is focusing on leg strength to prevent future injuries and aims for a breakout season.
