Packers vs. Panthers: Green Bay leads after first half

Green Bay took an early lead after a 90-yard drive that ended in a touchdown by Josh Jacobs. The Packers extended their lead to 13-10 before halftime.

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was taken to the hospital via ambulance with a chest injury for precautionary reasons. Watson walked off on his own, but teammate Will Lee III was carted to the locker room and appears to have a more serious injury.

The Panthers responded with a 65-yard drive that ended in a touchdown by Chuba Hubbard, giving Carolina the lead. However, turnovers and defensive struggles limited their success.

The game began with a fumble by Packers returner Coleman Owen, giving the Panthers possession at the Green Bay 29. Despite the early advantage, Carolina struggled to convert opportunities, with quarterback Bryce Young appearing uncomfortable under pressure.

Jordan Love led the Packers' offense with a 56-yard drive that ended in a touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft. However, rookie kicker Trey Smack missed the extra point, continuing his struggles with field goals.

The Panthers' performance has been inconsistent, with a 3-3 record against the spread. The team's depth is also limited, with several key players listed as inactive.
