Christian Watson - Page 25 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Not expected to play Friday Watson (knee) isn't in line to play in Friday's preseason game against the Saints, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Having said that, Watson went through pregame warmups with the Packers' wide receiver group, which is another sign of progress after returning to practice this past Sunday. The rookie second-round pick spent most of training camp on the active/PUP list after undergoing a procedure on his knee following the offseason program. Watson will have one more chance to make an appearance during exhibition season Thursday at Kansas City.

Returning to practice Coach Matt LaFleur relayed that Watson (knee) is slated to return to practice Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact While that is step in the right direction for Watson, who is bouncing back from a knee procedure, LaFleur indicated that the 2022 second-rounder figures to be eased into the mix, beginning by participating in individual drills and walkthroughs before moving on to team drills. Once he's up to speed, Watson will look to secure a key early season role in a Green Bay wide receiver corps that also includes Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb, among others.

Impact Watson added his knee experienced discomfort while running and cutting late in OTAs, and he eventually underwent a procedure to address it. The rookie second-round pick doesn't have a timeline to return to the field, but considering his comments Thursday, he at least has a chance to play in the preseason, even if his activity at the start of training camp is delayed. Once he's available, Watson will be in the mix for targets from Aaron Rodgers along with Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) and Randall Cobb, among others.

Impact Neither player nor team has provided details on Watson's injury, apart from placing him on the PUP list and suggesting that he required a procedure but shouldn't be out for too long. Even if he makes it back within a week or two, the late start to camp isn't ideal for a rookie wideout who needs to make a good impression on demanding veteran QB Aaron Rodgers. Schneidman also reports that veteran wideout Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) is expected to return from the non-football injury list soon.

Hitting PUP list The Packers placed Watson (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In the wake of the Davante Adams trade, the Packers were in the market for reinforcements at wide receiver and made a splash on Day 2 of this year's draft, trading up to select Watson in the second round, 34th overall. At 6-foot-4, 208 pounds, Watson combines his length with a 4.36-second 40, giving him similar traits to another offseason departure at the position (Marquez Valdes-Scantling). Before he'll get a chance to build a rapport with Aaron Rodgers in training camp, though, Watson will need to get past his current injury concern.
