If you've been worried about Christian Watson, here's good news. The receiver says he's preparing to play through soreness from a broken rib when the Packers visit New England on Sunday. He was taken by ambulance from Lambeau Field last Thursday night, and he said the CT scan showed no pockets of blood or fluid. He also found the memes about going from an ambulance to the playing field funny.

“It is what it is, just one of those things that will probably be a little bothersome, but can still play.”
Watson practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, and the team has a plan in place, including padding the injured area. Both teams are 5-3, and you can watch the game on FOX6 in the Milwaukee market. Even at 5-3, Green Bay sits last in the NFC North, the only division where all four teams have winning records.
