The Green Bay Packers are in a world of hurt, searching for a treatment that will heal their losing wounds. So far, they don’t have any answers.

After a 2-1 start, they’ve lost three straight games, falling to 2-4 on the season. The last two games have been against the basement of the NFL in the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos, making Green Bay the new basement dwellars.

As they look to right the ship, let’s mention five players on the hot seat heading into their Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Here are five players on the Green Bay Packers who are on the hot seat entering their Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Packers on the Hot Seat: Christian Watson

Christian Watson’s return was supposed to revitalize the Packers’ offense and provide them with the big play spark they were missing. However, their offense has only performed worse with him on the field this season.

That’s not solely on Watson, but he hasn’t been the same playmaker he was last season. Sure, he’s come close on several plays, but he’s been unable to finish the play. The Packers have a limited Aaron Jones and may be without Luke Musgrave. If Watson wants to be a leader, he needs to step up immediately.
