Puts in full practice Watson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Impact As expected, the ankle issue that resulted in Watson being labeled as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report doesn't look to be anything that will prevent him from playing in Thursday's game against the Titans. The rookie wideout will be looking to build on his breakthrough performance in the Packers' overtime win over the Cowboys last weekend, when he hauled in four of eight targets for 107 yards and three touchdowns.

Dealing with ankle injury Watson is listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle issue.

Impact So far this season, Watson has tended to knee, hamstring and head injuries, meaning this is a new health concern. He's on the heels of easily the best performance of his rookie campaign, as he hauled in four of eight targets for 107 yards and the first three touchdowns of his career during Sunday's overtime win versus the Cowboys. With Romeo Doubs currently out due to a high-ankle sprain, Watson will continue to team with Allen Lazard (shoulder, LP on Monday) and Sammy Watkins as the top wide receivers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb, DNP on Monday) on Thursday against the Titans, assuming the quartet is active.

Explodes for three TDs Watson (chest) hauled in four of eight targets for 107 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over Dallas.

Impact Watson got off to a rough start with two drops early in the contest, but Aaron Rodgers kept faith in his young receiver and the duo was rewarded with a trio of trips to the end zone. The 2022 second-round pick has battled injury and poor play through nine weeks, but Sunday's standout performance should place him back on the map in fantasy circles. With fellow rookie starter Romeo Doubs (ankle) expected to miss multiple weeks, Watson has a real opportunity to establish himself quickly as one of Green Bay's top wideouts. Make sure the 23-year-old is rostered ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Titans.

Good to go Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Watson (chest) won't need to be held out of practice for any precautionary reasons this week, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-G...

Impact After clearing the concussion protocol in advance of the Packers' Week 9 game against the Lions, Watson checked out of the game at one point during the 15-9 loss to be evaluated for a concussion. Though he remained sidelined the rest of the way, LaFleur noted after the game that the rookie cleared the concussion protocol and was instead dealing with a chest injury after taking a shot from a defender. Watson looks like he'll be a full participant when Green Bay returns to the field Wednesday, and he should have a fair chance at avoiding the Week 10 injury report entirely. With fellow rookie wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) in danger of missing multiple weeks due to a sprain, Watson's availability on offense will be key for the Packers as the team prepares for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Did not suffer concussion Sunday Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Watson (chest) did not suffer a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Lions, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact LaFleur added that Watson "took a nice shot in the chest and lost his breath for a minute," but he cleared concussion protocols. The rookie wideout was shut down for the remainder of the contest for precautionary reasons due to the concussion he suffered last week, but it doesn't sound like there'll be any lingering affects of the hard hit leading up to the Packers' Week 10 matchup against Dallas. However, Watson's participation during practice will likely provide further clarity on the situation.

Getting concussion check Watson is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's contest at Detroit.

Impact The Packers lost Romeo Doubs (ankle) on their first play from scrimmage, and losing Watson to a head injury for the second week in a row would put the team down two of its three rookie wide receivers. If Watson reenters the concussion protocol, Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Amari Rodgers and Samori Toure will be the WRs available to quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the rest of Week 9.

Clears protocol, playing Sunday Watson (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact After exiting the Packers' Week 8 loss to the Bills upon entering the concussion protocol, Watson sat out practice Wednesday before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. Watson's active status implies that he cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and some point after Friday's practice, so he's not expected to face any limitations Sunday. However, the rookie second-round pick has handled a depth role for much of the season and may not be a candidate to see many of Aaron Rodgers' targets behind fellow receivers Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable due to concussion Watson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watson returned from a hamstring injury last week but then suffered a concussion in the first quarter of an eventual loss to the Commanders. He could be a big part of the offense soon enough, especially if he's active for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff while fellow wideout Allen Lazard (questionable - shoulder) doesn't play. The reverse is also possible, of course, and the Packers could wait until Saturday or Sunday to make their decisions.
