Watson said after Monday's 34-0 win over New Orleans that he'll get his knee checked out Tuesday and that he's "hoping for the best" in regard to the injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

🔥 Hot Takes

Watson injured his knee on a 14-yard carry in the second quarter Monday. He briefly came back into the contest but was then announced to be questionable to return in the third period. The 25-year-old wideout never returned, though the blowout nature of the score may have been a contributing factor in the decision to hold him out. It's not yet clear what the chances are that Watson will miss next Sunday's big game against Minnesota, but Tuesday's follow-up -- plus Watson's participation in practice this week -- should provide more clarity on that question. If Watson misses any additional time, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton could see more targets.
