Packers' inability to protect leads down the stretch proves costly in wild-card loss at Chicago

The Green Bay Packers couldn’t finish games, so now their season is finished

1 HOUR AGO • Associated Press

Productive following IR return Watson finished the 2025 regular season with 35 catches (on 55 targets) for 611 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games.

Impact Watson played a key role on the Packers' offense during Saturday's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to the Bears, finishing with three catches (on seven targets) for 39 yards which included a seven-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love late in the first quarter. Watson missed the first seven games of the regular season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 campaign. Despite the missed time, the fourth-year pro finished the regular season second on the Packers in catches, targets and yards behind Romeo Doubs. Even with Green Bay bringing in rookie Matthew Golden, Watson still played a key part in the offense, particularly after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers. Watson -- who the Packers selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft -- is under contract with Green Bay through the 2026 campaign.

Bright spot for Packers Watson recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Watson has been limited by his own injuries and the absence of Jordan Love (concussion) in recent weeks. However, he was the primary driver of the team's offense through the air in Saturday's loss while surpassing 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 14 of the 2024 season. Watson logged long receptions of 39, 31 and 23 yards, the longest of which went for a score early in the first quarter. Watson has logged at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and should be Green Bay's most productive receiver so long as he can remain on the field.

Active in Week 17 Watson (shoulder/illness) is active for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact After kicking off Week 17 prep with back-to-back full listings as he continues to deal with a lingering shoulder injury, Watson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, leaving him questionable ahead of the weekend. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Saturday afternoon that Watson was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Watson will be working within the confines of a Packers offense directed by Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) instead of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion), the latter of whom was ruled out Friday, so coach Matt LaFleur may prioritize the ground game based on Willis' more mobile skill set. When Willis started Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2024 season in place of Love, Watson hauled in both of his targets for 67 yards.
