With the team's playoff hopes dashed, it is likely looking towards next season, not looking for it's players to chance severe injury in games where there is no championship hope. Watson will end the 2025 season with 64 tackles (42 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six passes defensed for two interceptions through 15 games.

Upgrades to full practice Watson (back) upgraded to a full practice Friday.

Listed as limited in practice Watson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Watson appears to have picked up a back injury during Kansas City's blowout 31-0 win over the Raiders in Week 7, in which he played a season-low 71 percent of defensive snaps. Of course, the Chiefs also benched multiple starters once victory over Las Vegas was well in hand, it's difficult to put too much weight on Watson's low snap count. If he's unable to resume practicing in full Friday and/or Saturday, Watson will likely be assigned an injury designation for Monday Night Football versus Washington.
