Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson suffered an apparent injury after making a deep catch against the Carolina Panthers in their "Thursday Night Football" matchup.

Watson was working against Panthers cornerback Will Lee in coverage when the wideout hauled in a 53-yard completion. He then went to the ground after the catch and landed hard on top of the ball.

Watson remained down after the play and immediately received medical attention from the Packers' medical staff. Meanwhile, Lee also went down, clutching his hamstring.

Watson eventually exited the field and headed into the blue medical tent for further evaluation.
