Packers wide receiver Christian Watson left Lambeau Field in an ambulance on Thursday night after breaking a rib and spitting up blood, but he later returned to the field and said after the game that he never doubted whether he should play through it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was spitting up some blood or something like that, so the doctor said I had to go get a CT,\u201d Watson said. \u201cI was trying to beg him to not make me do that. I got a rib, that\u2019s all, but the other stuff was good. No internal bleeding, nothing like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Watson said he would always play through pain if he possibly could.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I even left I wanted to get back out there,\u201d Watson said. \u201cThis means everything to me, to be out there on the football field. I\u2019ve had injuries I was not able to go on the field for, and I\u2019ve missed significant time due to injuries, so any chance I get to go out there on the football field, I\u2019m going to be out there on the football field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Watson finished the game with eight catches for 113 yards: Six catches for 100 yards before going to the hospital, and two catches for 13 yards after returning from the hospital.<\/p>\n
Watson said his philosophy is simple: \u201cIf you can get up, you\u2019ve got to get up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Packers wide receiver Christian Watson left Lambeau Field in an ambulance on Thursday night after breaking a rib…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-900037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
