The Green Bay Packers made a series of roster moves ahead of their Week Eight matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, moves that, as it turned out, played a crucial role in the team securing the win. One of these was the highly anticipated return of Christian Watson to the field. As fans recall, the fourth-year wide receiver missed the first six games of the season this year as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 season. In his first game of the year, Watson had four receptions for 85 yards, including a 33-yard reception on a throw that saw quarterback Jordan Love throw across his body and the field to link up with his big wide receiver deep in the red zone. Additionally, Watson played a crucial role blocking for his fellow pass catchers, allowing tight end Tucker Kraft, in particular, to make big plays throughout the game. In order to add Watson to the active roster, though, Green Bay had to waive one of their other players, one who was just claimed by the Minnesota Vikings.
