Much of the poor display \u2013 particularly towards of the end of the game \u2013 came down to the injury to defensive tackle, Devonte Wyatt.<\/p>\n<p>At least according to star edge rusher, Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not great for the Packers.

Yet, LaFleur stated that the team could open up his 21 practice window and bring him off of IR following the week 5 bye.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s been in discussion,\u201d LaFleur said, before following on that they still had a few days to make a final decision on the matter.<\/p>\n<h2>What Could The Return Timelines Look Like For Watson And Wyatt?<\/h2>\n<p>Wyatt is recovering from a knee injury \u2013 which can obviously be very tenuous and force teams to exercise substantial caution.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers face the Cincinnati Bengals after the bye week, which in their current miserable offensive form with both the run and passing game misfiring, could encourage Green Bay to let Wyatt sit out an extra week to not risk further injury aggravation.<\/p>\n<p>However, neither the Browns nor the Cowboys were seen as great risks prior to them taking the game to the Packers over the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Watson is a different case; both in terms of his relationship to offense and the scale of his injury. Major knee ligament tears are always tough to recover from, and if not fully recuperated from can have lasting effects for the player and impact his future performances.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, although he would certainly be an excellent re-addition to the passing offense, especially in the deep passing game, his presence does not impact the heart of the defense like Wyatt\u2019s does.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay Packers head coach, Matt LaFleur, gives updates on Devonte Wyatt and Christian Watson&#8217;s injuries in his Tuesday presser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
