Christian Watson - Page 10 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Listed as questionable Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Watson also was listed as questionable last week and didn't end up playing after missing every practice. He also missed practice this Wednesday and Thursday, but a return to limited participation Friday perhaps gives him a shot to play against the Bears. It's possible Watson comes down to a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, with Dontayvion Wicks likely to be the main beneficiary of extra snaps if Watson ends up inactive.

Friday to be key for Week 18 status Coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged Thursday that Watson (knee) likely "would have to get some work in" at Friday's practice in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Bears,...

Impact Watson hasn't practiced since sustaining a bruised left knee Week 16 against the Saints, but he at least warmed up with his teammates Thursday for the first time since then. Friday's session thus will be key for his odds to return to action this weekend. During this past Sunday's loss at Minnesota, Dontayvion Wicks was the clear beneficiary among Packers wide receivers with Watson sidelined, ranking second at the position in snap share (73 percent) behind Romeo Doubs (86 percent) and ahead of Jayden Reed (71 percent), Bo Melton (25 percent) and Malik Heath (24 percent).

Not practicing yet Watson (knee) isn't practicing Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact On a positive note, though, Watson warmed up with his teammates for the first time since suffering a bruised left knee Week 16 against the Saints. He'll have one more chance to get in some on-field work this week before the Packers potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears.

Doesn't practice Watson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Watson hasn't practiced since suffering a knee bruise Week 16 against the Saints, but he was listed as questionable for Sunday's eventual loss to Minnesota before ending up on the inactive list. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would give Watson a much better shot to play this Sunday against the Bears.

Sitting out in Week 17 Watson (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday at Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson sustained a bruised left knee during last Monday's win against the Saints. Despite being a listed DNP for the entirety of Week 17 prep, he was deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's game after coach Matt LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site on Friday that the third-year wide receiver had a chance to suit up. As the weekend went on, though, both Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that Watson wasn't likely to play, which now has been confirmed. The Packers will lean on Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath at wide receiver this weekend.

Not expected to play Sunday Watson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, isn't expected to play, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

Impact Watson didn't practice in any fashion this week while managing a bruised left knee, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the lack of on-field work wouldn't necessarily stop the wideout from suiting up Sunday. While based on this report he seems unlikely to play, check for confirmation when Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Watson expected to sit out, all of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks should be in store for slight boosts in their snap and target projections.

Impact Watson didn't practice in any fashion this week while managing a bruised left knee, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that the lack of on-field work wouldn't necessarily stop the wideout from suiting up Sunday, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Ultimately, Watson doesn't seem to have made enough progress in his recovery from the injury to play against the Vikings, and he's expected to be formally ruled out when Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Watson expected to sit out, all of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks should be in store for slight boosts in their snap and target projections.

Questionable for Week 17 Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Minnesota, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson stuck to the rehab group during Week 17 prep due to the left knee injury that he suffered Monday against the Saints. Despite Watson having no practice reps under his belt this week, coach Matt LaFleur left the door ajar for the wide receiver to play Sunday, per Hodkiewicz. In the end,. Watson's availability, or lack thereof, will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath would be the candidates for elevated roles behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs if Watson is inhibited or sidelined.

Another DNP on Thursday Watson (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watson attempted to play through a left knee injury that he sustained during Monday's win against the Saints but ultimately was shut down. On Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur called the issue "just a bruise" and noted that Watson's availability for Sunday's game at Minnesota would be determined by his on-field work this week, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. With none to speak of yet through Thursday, Watson may be trending in the wrong direction, and his situation may receive some clarity as soon as the team posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath all could stand to benefit behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Roubs if Watson is limited or out this weekend.

DNP on estimated injury report Watson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Impact Watson banged up his left knee Monday when a Saints defender landed on his leg out of bounds after a 14-yard carry. Upon further evaluation Tuesday, the third-year pro is dealing with "just a bruise," as coach Matt LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. "Still gotta be able to function," LaFleur added. "We'll see how he practices this week and see where we're at." As such, Watson's presence on the field the next two days may be key for the Packers' decision-making process in advance of Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Impact Watson and the Packers got a scare Monday against New Orleans when a defender fell on the receiver following his 14-yard second-quarter carry. The wideout initially returned to the contest but was then removed in the third quarter and didn't return. LaFleur's update suggests that Watson could be able to suit up this Sunday in Minnesota, though how he feels during practice this week will likely be a determining factor in that decision.

Impact Watson injured his knee on a 14-yard carry in the second quarter Monday. He briefly came back into the contest but was then announced to be questionable to return in the third period. The 25-year-old wideout never returned, though the blowout nature of the score may have been a contributing factor in the decision to hold him out. It's not yet clear what the chances are that Watson will miss next Sunday's big game against Minnesota, but Tuesday's follow-up -- plus Watson's participation in practice this week -- should provide more clarity on that question. If Watson misses any additional time, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton could see more targets.

Exits with knee injury on MNF Watson is questionable to return to Monday's game against New Orleans due to a knee injury.

Impact Watson was hurt when he was fallen on at the end of a 14-yard rush in the second quarter. The wideout returned to the game following that play but was later seen on the sideline getting looked at by the Packers' medical staff. Green Bay was up 24-0 at the time Watson was deemed questionable to return, and it's possible that the big lead contributed to that designation. Prior to his exit, Watson didn't catch his only target and recorded 23 yards on two carries.

Team-high 56 receiving yards Watson caught three of six targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Watson used his downfield playmaking ability to generate multiple chunk gains for the Packers, securing a 36-yard reception in the second quarter and drawing a 39-yard pass interference penalty in the third. He led Green Bay in receiving yards and tied Jayden Reed for the team lead in targets, though Romeo Doubs stole the show with two touchdown catches in the latter's return from a concussion. Watson usually sees a few deep passes thrown his way per game and will look to make the most of those opportunities in Week 16 against the Saints.
