  • Packers' Christian Watson: Career-high yardage total in win

    Watson secured seven of eight targets for 171 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 45-27 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Watson repeatedly got the best of Christian Gonzalez and the rest of a talented Patriots secondary, recording team- and career-high receiving yardage totals along the way. Watson burned New England for four catches of 20-plus yards, including a game-long 49-yard grab, as well as a 39-yard touchdown catch in the latter portion of the third quarter. Watson's career-best line is up to a tally of 49-879-7 on 74 targets heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Vikings next Sunday.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: 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.

    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 -- an 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.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: No designation for Week 9

    Watson (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at New England.

    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.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Stays limited Thursday

    Watson (ribs) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Watson now has back-to-back capped sessions under his belt to begin Week 9 prep, which stems from the broken rib that he suffered during last Thursday's win against the Panthers. He'll have one more chance Friday to get back to full participation, at which point the Packers may tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at New England.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Practicing in pads Thursday

    Watson (ribs) is wearing pads for Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Watson was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after sustaining a rib injury in Green Bay's Week 8 win over the Panthers. His participation level Thursday has yet to be revealed, but it's a good sign that Watson is able to practice in pads and take contact as the Packers prepare to face the Patriots on Sunday.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Limited Wednesday

    Watson (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    In the midst of making a visit to the hospital during last Thursday's win against the Panthers, he was able to return and finished with eight catches (on 10 targets) for 113 yards. Afterward, he was revealed to have a broken rib, which likely will be an injury he plays through while employing pain tolerance. In any case, Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at New England.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Managing rib soreness ahead of Week 9

    Packers passing game coordinator Jason Vrable said Monday that Watson (ribs) is sore but "doing great," Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Suffers broken rib Thursday

    Watson said he suffered a broken rib in Thursday night's 27-19 win over the Panthers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Watson took a hard fall in the second quarter after hauling in a 53-yard deep shot from Jordan Love. He landed on the football and was coughing up blood afterward, necessitating a trip to the hospital just before halftime. Scans showed a broken rib, but Watson was deemed fit to return to the game in the third quarter. He'll now have 10 days to rest up before the Packers' next game in Week 9 against the Patriots.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Impressive production on eventful night

    Watson, who was hospitalized for a portion of Thursday's 27-19 win over the Panthers on Thursday to be evaluated for chest and rib injuries, finished the contest having brought in eight of 10 targets for 113 yards. He also lost a fumble.

    Watson managed to lead the Packers in receptions and receiving yards despite missing almost a full quarter, making his numbers all the more admirable. The veteran speedster, who's on pace for a career-best season, set a new season high in catches, and he now has three 100-yard efforts on the campaign. Watson's second-quarter fumble didn't lead to any Panthers points, so he ultimately enjoyed a successful night in every sense. Watson now boasts a 42-708-6 line heading into a Week 9 road showdown against the Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 8.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Returns to Thursday's game

    Watson (chest) returned to Thursday night's game against the Panthers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Watson was injured in the second quarter and missed roughly one full quarter to go to the hospital for testing on his chest and ribs area. Evidently, the results of the scans and tests came back clean, and Watson was cleared to re-enter the game. He caught six passes for 100 yards on seven targets in the first half.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Questionable to return to TNF

    Watson (chest) is questionable to return to Thursday night's game against the Panthers, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

    Watson was injured hauling in a 53-yard pass from Jordan Love midway through the second quarter and is headed to the hospital to undergo further testing, according to Kaylee Hartung on the Amazon Prime broadcast. Matthew Golden, Savion Williams, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant will handle wideout duties while Watson is sidelined for Green Bay.
