The Eagles’ Wild Card opponent got banged up in Week 18

Green Bay is dealing with some injury issues.

The Philadelphia Eagles had already secured the No. 2 seed heading into Week 18, and they now know they’ll be hosting the Green Bay Packers in the the wild card round of the postseason.

The Packers ended up losing to the Bears on Sunday, and had some really bad injury luck in the process. In the first half, both QB Jordan Love and WR Christian Watson were knocked out of the game, and didn’t return.

Love’s injury appears to be to his throwing arm, which could make a turnaround in time for the playoffs a bit difficult.

Quarterback Malik Willis went in to replace Love and, on the next drive, Christian Watson had to be carted to the locker room after sustaining a non-contact injury. Watson was a big factor in the Packers offense, and finished the regular season with 29 catches, on 52 targets, for 620 yards and two TDs.

The Packers already clinched their playoff spot heading into this Week 18 division game, so the team took a risk in letting these starters play. We’ll have to see how it’ll affect things when the Eagles host them next week.

(Just another example of why Philly head coach Nick Sirianni opted to rest nearly every single starter against the Giants — even if meant Saquon Barkley missing the all-time rushing record.)
