For a second straight week, Christian Watson and the Green Bay Packers approached game day with his status up in the air. He retained a questionable tag on Friday’s injury report (knee) but was a limited participant in practice all week. For his part, Watson has already said he plans to play, but he also said that’s been his stance in prior weeks too. Matt LaFleur would not commit one way or the other when asked about his receiver’s status. Whether he makes his season debut Sunday night in Pittsburgh is up to the team to decide. Based on a highlight reel Watson posted on Instagram, the Packers seem to have made their decision.

A return before the midway point in 2025 would have seemed a highly optimistic outcome, but he progressed steadily and relentlessly in his recovery before coming off the PUP list and returning to practice after the bye.
