Christian Watson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Will be 'full go' Sunday Watson (ribs) will be "full go" in Sunday's game at New England, per Jay Glazer on Fox NFL Sunday.

Impact Watson suffered a broken rib during a Week 8 win against the Panthers in which he visited a Green Bay-area hospital during the game before returning to action in the second half. He finished that contest with his third 100-yard performance of the season -- 8-113-0 line on 10 targets -- but he was limited during Week 9 prep before avoiding a designation for this Sunday's matchup. Glazer's report indicates Watson should be good for his typical 80-plus percent snap share and 8.3 targets per game on the campaign.

No designation for Week 9 Watson (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at New England.

Impact Despite being limited on all three of the Packers' Week 9 injury reports due to the broken rib he sustained during last Thursday's win against the Panthers, Watson will be available to Green Bay's offense. It stands to reason he'll wear some sort of protection around his midsection Sunday, but he nonetheless is a plug-and-play option due to his 42-708-6 line on 66 targets through the first eight games of the campaign.

Impact Watson suffered a broken rib during this past Thursday win over the Panthers, and while Vrable notes with regard to Watson's status for this Sunday's game against the Patriots, "we'll see as the week goes," he added that the wideout will do everything possible to get his body ready in advance of Week 9 action. In the event that Watson is unavailable versus New England, added reps behind Matthew Golden would be available for Savion Williams, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant.

Five more catches in Week 7 Watson notched five catches (on eight targets) for 57 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 20-17 defeat at Detroit.

Impact Watson's team-high 28-yard catch in the second quarter got the Packers into the red zone for the third time in Week 7, but after a Jordan Love to Tucker Kraft TD connection on the team's second possession, Green Bay otherwise failed to score on three of four trips to premium territory. Watson himself paced the team in receiving yards Sunday, but he also wasn't able to score a TD for the third time in the last four games, leaving him sitting on six scores in seven appearances. He and his teammates have a quick turnaround with a Thursday night matchup with the Panthers on tap in Week 8.
