Watson's broken rib cleared of internal injury; plans to play Week 9 with pain injection.

Watson suffered a broken rib in the Packers' Thursday night win over the Panthers and was forced out of the game. He was sent to the hospital after reportedly coughing up blood, but a CT scan confirmed the fracture and additional testing ruled out any associated internal injury. Watson was permitted to return to the stadium and plans to play in Week 9, though he will likely need an injection for pain and additional padding. Rib injuries are very painful and make breathing uncomfortable; he will be at risk for reinjury or aggravation if he plays.
