Team optimistic after testing
The Packers feel like they have a better understanding of Watson's injury issues after he underwent a body scan at University of Wisconsin-Madison earlier this offseason, Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com reports.
Analysis: Hamstring problems resulted in multi-game absences three times during Watson's first two NFL seasons, and he was removed early from other contests with a concussion (Week 8 of 2022), chest injury (Week 9 of 2022), hip injury (Week 16 of 2022) and back/chest injury (Week 9 of 2023). It's a worrying list of medical problems for someone with only 953 career snaps -- essentially one season's worth -- but Watson has mostly been effective when available, catching 69 of 119 targets for 1,033 yards and…read more

To undergo offseason testing
Watson said Monday that he plans to undergo offseason medical testing to determine why he's battled recurring hamstring injuries in his NFL career, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Watson missed the last five games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, and though he managed to return for Green Bay's two playoff games, he was ineffective in those contests. His efforts culminated in securing one catch for 11 yards on two targets during Saturday's loss to the 49ers in the divisional round. It's worth noting that Watson also missed the first three games of the 2023 campaign due to a hamstring issue and that he was nicked up for a substantial portion of the year…read more

Set to play Saturday
Watson (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round contest at San Francisco, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Watson put an end to a five-game absence this past Sunday at Dallas due to a strained right hamstring, but the Packers contained him to 23 of 56 offensive snaps. The result was one catch for nine yards, while fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs (6-151-1 on six targets) dominated the attention of quarterback Jordan Love. Watson was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate before having his reps capped at Wednesday's walkthrough, but the activity was enough for Green Bay to clear him to suit…read more

Limited session Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Watson returned for Green Bay's wild-card win over Dallas after missing the final five games of the regular season, though he played only 41 percent of his team's snaps on offense and was targeted just once. While the limited workload likely was related to his prolonged absence, the Packers' impressive depth at wide receiver may also have been a factor. As such, Watson is no lock to return to his pre-injury role even if he continues to practice and avoid setbacks ahead of Saturday's…read more

Limited to begin week
The Packers listed Watson (hamstring) as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: A hamstring injury caused Watson to miss five straight games prior to his return in Green Bay's wild-card victory over the Cowboys. He finished the contest with one reception for nine yards on his only target. Given his lengthy absence, it is unsurprising to see the Packers exercising caution with Watson early in the week. The second-year pass catcher might need to upgrade to full participation before the practice week is out before he'll be a viable fantasy option in Saturday's clash with the…read more

One catch in wild-card round win
Watson (hamstring) caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Watson barely saw any involvement in the blowout win, as Romeo Doubs produced a career-high 151 receiving yards and caught one of Jordan Love's three touchdown passes, which were complemented by a trio of Aaron Jones touchdown runs. While Watson's hamstring injury probably won't keep him out of the divisional round in San Francisco, the injury still appears to be hampering the second-year wideout's effectiveness.

Suiting up Sunday
Watson (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's wild-card game at Dallas.
Analysis: Watson thus will return to action for the first time since Week 13, when he strained his right hamstring near the end of a win over the Chiefs. It's fair to wonder how many snaps he'll be able to handle Sunday after being listed as limited on all three Packers injury reports this week, but the 2022 second-rounder will be in the mix for passes from quarterback Jordan Love alongside wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton. In the nine contests that he was available…read more

Status hinges on pregame workout
Watson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game in Dallas, will test his injured right hamstring out in pregame warmups before a determination is made if he'll play in the postseason opener, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Packers reportedly have some optimism that Watson will be able to play for the first time since the Dec. 3 win over the Chiefs, but he'll need to make it though the workout no worse for the wear in order to make himself available Sunday. With that in mind, Watson appears to be shaping up a game-time decision, with official word on his status likely to arrive when Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Watson is cleared to play, he…read more

Questionable for wild-card round
Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Watson (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card game at Dallas, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: After managing a limited walkthrough Wednesday and a capped practice Thursday, Watson will enter the weekend with a chance to return to action. He hasn't suited up since suffering a right hamstring strain Week 13 against the Chiefs, and if he's unable to attain active status Sunday, the Packers otherwise will have the rest of their regular wide receivers available to the offense, with Romeo Doubs (chest) avoiding a game-day designation.

Stays limited at practice
Watson (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: For a second consecutive week, Watson has opened it with limited sessions on both occasions. However, he capped Week 18 prep with a DNP at Friday's practice, which was followed by a fifth absence in a row this past Sunday against the Bears. As such, Watson's listing this Friday could be telling for his potential to play for the first time since straining his right hamstring Week 13 versus the Chiefs. The Packers have fewer question marks at wide receiver this week, as only Romeo Doubs (chest)…read more

Watson (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: During Week 18 prep, the Packers were ready to gauge where Watson stood in his recovery from the strained right hamstring that had sidelined him for five games in row. He opened last week with two straight limited practices before getting a day of rest Friday, as head coach Matt LaFleur relayed to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The on-field work wasn't enough for Watson to return to action for this past Sunday's win over the Bears, and he's kicking off this week in a similar spot to last…read more

Sitting out again Sunday
Watson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: After straining his right hamstring Week 13 against the Chiefs, Watson was held out of every practice for the next four weeks. He logged as many consecutive absences on game day as a result, but his presence on the practice field as limited Wednesday and Thursday before getting a rest day Friday opened the door for his return to action. That won't come to pass for Watson, though, leaving Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed (chest), Dontayvion Wicks (chest), Bo Melton and Malik Heath as the Packers'…read more

Questionable for Week 18
Watson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur downplayed Watson's absence from Friday's practice, telling reporters that the Packers "felt like (Watson) had two good days of practice and wanted to give him today off ," per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The team listed Watson as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, following four straight weeks of missed practices and games. He may end up a game-time decision heading into the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Another limited practice
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Watson isn't yet in the clear for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Bears, but he's put himself in a good position to end his four-game absence this weekend after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday. With a wild-card spot on the line in Week 18, quarterback Jordan Love could have close to his full complement of offensive weapons available. In addition to Watson, fellow wideouts Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest), tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) and…read more

Watson (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: In his first on-field work since suffering a strained right hamstring Week 13 against the Chiefs, Watson predictably operated with a cap on his reps. Speaking of the Packers' No. 1 wide receiver, head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Watson is coming off a good week and will need to make appreciable progress this time around to put himself in a position to return to action this weekend versus the Bears.

Analysis: Watson is set to take part in his first notable on-field work since straining his right hamstring late in a Week 13 win over the Chiefs. At the time of the injury, he had put together his most productive stretch of the season, accumulating 14 catches (on 20 targets) for 186 yards and four touchdowns and three carries for 16 yards from Weeks 11 through 13.

Missing fourth straight game
Watson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a strained right hamstring, which hasn't allowed him to mix into drills in the meantime. He'll likely need to do so in order to have any chance of suiting up Week 18 against the Bears, but the Packers' receiving corps this Sunday will be composed of Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton with Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) also sitting out.

Watson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur said Watson would need to return to practice Friday to have any chance of avoiding a fourth straight missed game. With that not happening, the second-year wideout is highly unlikely to play, potentially leaving Malik Heath in a significant role given that Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) is listed as questionable and appears no better than 50/50 to play.

Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur said Watson and fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) would need to practice Friday in order to play Sunday. Neither is doing so, but slot man Jayden Reed (toe/chest) at least seems to have a shot to make it back after missing Week 16.

Watson (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: With back-to-back DNPs to begin Week 17 prep, Watson is trending in the wrong direction to make his first appearance since Week 13, when he strained his right hamstring in the later moments of a win against the Chiefs. Fellow wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) also wasn't taking part in drills for a second session in a row Thursday, so the Packers' receiving corps again appears as if it'll be at less than 100 percent Sunday at Minnesota.

As for the rest of the Packers' receiving corps, Jayden Reed (toe/chest) was listed as a limited participant, while Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) also was a non-participant like Watson.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) took part in Wednesday's team stretch but ultimately didn't join his teammates for practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Watson's next on-field work will mark his first since straining his right hamstring in the waning moments of the Packers' Week 13 win over the Chiefs. Meanwhile, fellow wide receivers Jayden Reed (toe/chest) was a limited participant Wednesday and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) was listed as a non-participant, so Green Bay's receiving corps will need to be monitored over the final two Week 17 practices to get a sense of who among the trio might be available for Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Missing third straight game
Watson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Carolina, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson hasn't practiced since straining his right hamstring in the last few minutes of a Week 13 win against the Chiefs. He showed some progress in his recovery by donning a helmet and cleats while taking part in Friday's team stretch. In the end, though, Watson's doubtful listing on the Packers' final Week 16 injury report forecast the likelihood of a third consecutive absence Sunday. He'll now turn his focus to next Sunday night's road matchup with the Vikings.

Dealing with hamstring issue
Coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that the Packers expect to know more about Watson's right hamstring injury Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The report indicates that Watson will probably undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury, but on the plus side, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com noted that the wideout "did seem to be moving better (Monday) during a brief sighting in the locker room." Prior to suffering his injury in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs, Watson caught seven of his nine targets for 71 yards and two TDs while adding two carries for 15 yards.

Comes up big in Thanksgiving win
Watson caught five of seven targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.
Analysis: The second-year wideout looked as healthy as he's been all season and produced new season highs in catches and receiving yards, capping his performance with a 16-yard TD from Jordan Love late in the third quarter for Green Bay's final points of the day. Watson has gotten into the end zone in back-to-back games, but he could have a hard time extending that streak in Week 13 against a stingy Kansas City secondary.

Limited at first Week 12 practice
The Packers listed Watson (shoulder) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Following Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers, the Packers didn't hold an official practice Monday for what marked the first day of prep leading up to a Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit for Week 12. Watson appeared on last week's injury report with the same listed shoulder issue, but he entered the game against the Chargers without a designation and proceeded to play 56 of 72 offensive snaps en route to finishing with two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown on four targets.

Scores in win
Watson caught two of four targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. He also rushed once for a yard.
Analysis: Watson didn't make his first catch until midway through the third quarter, but his subsequent 11-yard touchdown nonetheless marked a key second-half play. With quarterback Jordan Love throwing for a career-high 322 yards, though, Watson finished seventh on the Packers in receiving. While tailback Aaron Jones' (knee) injury could result in more work for Watson going forward, the second-year wideout's stock remains underwhelming ahead of Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Lions.

Set to play Sunday
Watson (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Packers implemented restrictions on Watson's workload this week due to a shoulder injury, which was a change from one week prior when he tended to back and chest issues due to the hard fall he took late in the team's Week 9 win against the Rams. The newest concern may be related to that play, but it nonetheless won't impact his availability for Week 11, allowing him to face a Chargers defense that has allowed the second-most yards per target (9.5) and seventh-most touchdowns (10) to…read more

Limited Thursday
Watson (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Watson maintained that activity level in an actual practice. He'll thus have only one more opportunity this week to prove the health of his shoulder before the Packers potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers. If Watson is able to suit up, he'll have a chance to redeem himself for a dismal season to date versus a defense that has given up the second-most yards per target (9.5) to opposing wide…read more

Tending to shoulder issue
Watson was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a shoulder injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Watson suffered back and chest injuries in the fourth quarter of the Packers' Week 9 win against the Rams, but neither issue affected his practice reps last Wednesday through Friday. Following Green Bay's Week 10 loss to PIttsburgh, he's tending to a new health concern, so his status should be watched as the week continues to see if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Chargers.

Logs two receptions in loss
Watson was targeted seven times and caught two passes for 23 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: No other Packer saw more passes sent in his direction, but he and quarterback Jordan Love weren't on the same page and Watson finished fifth on the team in receptions and yardage despite playing three-fourth of the snaps. It has been a tough season for the second-year wideout, but he broke out right around this time last year, and he could do so again in Week 11 with the Packers facing a Chargers defense that's ceded nearly 25 more passing yards on a per-game basis than any other team in the…read more

Logs full practice Wednesday
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson (back/chest) was "full go" at practice Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: On Monday, LaFleur relayed that Watson didn't enter the concussion protocol after the hard fall and tackle that he endured on a 37-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Rams. LaFleur's comments two days later indicate Watson also is past the back and chest injuries that he sustained on that same play. Watson thus will set his sights on Sunday's road matchup with a Steelers defense that has yielded the sixth-most yards per target (8.7) to opposing wide…read more

Watson (back/chest) is practicing Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Watson was checked for a concussion and was reported to have back and chest injuries following his departure in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Monday that Watson avoided a concussion, and given his ability to practice Wednesday, the receiver's two injuries don't appear to be serious concerns either.

Avoids concussion
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson (back/chest) wasn't diagnosed with a concussion after exiting late in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams, but the team is still monitoring the receiver's progress, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Though Watson avoided a concussion when he recorded his lone reception of the game late in the fourth quarter -- an acrobatic and contested 37-yard catch -- he landed hard on the field and was forced out with a pair of injuries. While LaFleur didn't suggest that the back or chest issues are major concerns for Watson, the second-year receiver's practice activity during the upcoming week still could be affected. Watson previously missed the Packers' first three games of the season due to a…read more

Makes key play
Watson (upper body) caught one of two targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Watson's lone reception was a huge play late in Sunday's contest, as he came down with a leaping, contested catch for Green Bay's longest gain of the game. After his acrobatic effort, however, Watson was shaken up and subsequently sent to the locker room with what were labeled chest and back injuries. Watson was also set to undergo a concussion evaluation, leaving his status to be monitored in the coming days.

Analysis: Watson connected with quarterback Jordan Love on a deep ball that the wide receiver had to go up for. At the end of the 37-yard play, Watson landed hard on his upper body and stayed down for a spell before making his way to the sideline. After he went to the locker room, the potential trio of health concerns were revealed.

Draws eight targets in loss
Watson was targeted eight times and caught three passes for 33 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The eight targets represented a season high for Watson, but unfortunately for fantasy players they did not result in much production. Watson is getting opportunities, drawing 20 targets over the last three games and leading Packers' receivers in snaps in each of the last two. However, he has just one score on the season and is averaging 9.9 yards per reception outside of a 77-yard strike in Week 5. He will attempt to get going in Week 9 against a Rams team that had ceded just one TD to wideouts…read more

Full practice Wednesday
Watson (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watson came up favoring his right knee on the Packers' second-to-last offensive snap this past Sunday at Denver, but after a few days to rest up, the second-year wideout is good to go following an uncapped session. Because of injuries, he's been limited to just three appearances this season in which he's put together an 8-143-1 line on 16 targets and also rushed once for minus-5 yards.

Watson (knee) is set to practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Even if he's merely a limited participant, Watson's presence on the field to begin Week 8 prep is a strong indication that he avoided a major injury when he limped off the field at the end of Sunday's 19-17 loss to Denver. He was hurt on Green Bay's second-to-last offensive snap and thus missed just one play (a game-sealing Denver interception).

Injures knee on final drive
Watson appeared to injure his right knee on the final drive of Sunday's 19-17 loss to Denver, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The injury wasn't reported by Green Bay because it happened on the team's penultimate snap, one play before Jordan Love threw a game-sealing interception. Watson had minor surgery on his right knee last June and has missed time on multiple occasions due to hamstring/thigh injuries to that same leg.

Makes three grabs
Watson caught three of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Watson's output largely came from a 23-yard reception during the second half. Although he's made a catch of 20-plus yards in each of his three appearances this season, Watson hobbled off the field and was being attended to by trainers after bending awkwardly on his final target late in the game. That situation leaves some monitoring to be done ahead of the Week 8 contest versus the Vikings.

Team-high yardage tally in loss
Watson secured three of seven targets for 91 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Packers' 17-13 loss to the Raiders on Monday night.
Analysis: Watson came up with the biggest play of the night by far for the Packers on a 77-yard grab on the first play of a mid-third-quarter drive that culminated in a field goal. The speedster was also the intended receiver on Jordan Love's third and final interception of the night, a play where Watson appeared to have broken free for a would-be touchdown had the ball been thrown a couple of seconds earlier.

Watson (hamstring) was not listed with an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: It'll be interesting to see how much work Watson receives Monday with no injury designation given the productive wideout was close to a game-time decision last week against the Lions. In that eventual drubbing, Watson played just 45 percent of the offensive snaps, although it's hard to tell if he would have been out there for more had the game been a bit more competitive during the second half. The Packers have a bye in Week 6, so it's at least somewhat telling for fantasy managers that the…read more

Watson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Watson returned for Thursday Night Football in Week 4 and put up a 2-25-1 line on four targets in a part-time role. He figures to get a lot more playing time -- and probably more targets -- with an 11-day gap between games ahead of Monday's contest in Las Vegas. If Watson does handle a full-time role for the first time since late last season, it'll likely mean less playing time for rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.

Limited to begin Week 5 prep

Watson made the most of the opportunity, with one of his two catches resulting in a one-yard touchdown early in the third quarter.

Relatively quiet in debut
Watson (hamstring) brought in two of four targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Analysis: Watson's season debut would have been a total dud had it not been for a one-yard touchdown grab just before the midway point of the third quarter. The speedy second-year wideout was way behind fellow starter Romeo Doubs, who turned 13 targets into a 9-95 line.

Still, the Packers will exercise caution with their No. 1 wide receiver and hold him out for a second consecutive game.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Watson was a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been tending to a hamstring issue since at least Aug. 26, when he was sidelined for the Packers' preseason finale. With Watson joining Doubs on the sideline for the first official session of Week 1 prep, the statuses of both players bears monitoring Thursday and Friday to see if either is able to mix into drills. If one or both end up inactive Sunday at Chicago, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) likely would be…read more

Not at practice
Watson isn't taking part in practice Wednesday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson hasn't been dealing with any reported injuries in training camp or the preseason, but it's possible he may have gotten hurt during his appearance in Green Bay's exhibition finale Aug. 26. The second-year wideout could also be feeling under the weather or is tending to a personal matter, whereas fellow wideout Romeo Doubs -- also absent Wednesday -- is known to be dealing with a hamstring injury and in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Bears. Green Bay easily has the youngest…read more

Misses one TD, scores another
Watson caught one of three targets for a six-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Seattle.
Analysis: Watson and QB Jordan Love, among other starters, played the first three drives of the game against Seattle's second-string defense. Watson got behind everyone for a potential 49-yard TD on the final drive, but he was unable to make a tough play after Love badly underthrew him. The second-year wideout came back with a six-yard TD on a back-shoulder throw to finish out the same drive, and he looks to be the top option in Green Bay's remade passing game ahead of a Week 1 trip to Chicago.

Quiet in preseason opener
Watson caught two of three targets for six yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Watson played the first two drives along with other starters such as quarterback Jordan Love, but he posted a quiet performance while fellow second-year wide receiver Romeo Doubs got into the end zone on Green Bay's second drive. Watson still projects as Love's No. 1 target come the regular season, and they'll have a chance to improve their chemistry in Green Bay's second preseason game, Aug. 19 against the Patriots.

Strong finish to rookie campaign
Watson (hip) corralled five of six targets for 104 yards and rushed twice for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Watson's rookie year got off to a nightmarish start when he dropped a potential huge touchdown out of the gates that led to confidence issues and early struggles. The second-round pick got things rolling midseason when he ripped off eight touchdowns over a four-game span, and he didn't surrender the No. 1 wideout role from that point forward. Watson's strong finish to the season should have fantasy managers looking for a big sophomore leap from the explosive wideout in 2023.

Cleared to play Sunday
Watson (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A hip injury caused Watson to miss the second half of Green Bay's Week 16 contest, and he then managed only one catch for 11 yards in Week 17 while playing 60 percent of snaps in a 41-17 win over the Vikings. The blowout nature of the game affected his playing time, but there's real competition for snaps/targets with Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb all healthy. Even so, Watson should still be featured in the game plan in light of his surge during the second half of the season.

Remains limited Thursday
Watson (hip) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Analysis: Watson, who hurt his hip Week 16 at Miami, now has logged more work than a week ago, when he managed just one capped session before the Packers made him questionable ahead of this past Sunday's game against the Vikings. He ended up playing 60 percent of the snaps in that contest but hauled in just one of five targets for 11 yards. In the end, Friday's injury report will unveil if Watson has a designation for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lions.

Watson (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: After injuring his hip Week 16 at Miami, Watson managed just one limited session last Friday and went into the weekend listed as questionable. He was able to suit up this past Sunday against the Vikings and rank second among Packers wide receivers in snap share (60 percent) behind Allen Lazard, but the usage only resulted in an 11-yard catch on five targets for the rookie second-round pick.

Limited in Week 17 win
Watson was targeted five times and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 41-17 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Watson took the field one week after injuring his hip in Green Bay's Week 16 victory over the Dolphins, but he played only 59 percent of the snaps and did not come close to matching the numbers he tossed up in his previous six appearances. Watson's participation -- or lack thereof -- in practice this week could indicate what type of workload can be expected of him in the Packers' crucial Week 18 matchup with the Lions.

Suiting up in Week 17
Watson (hip) is active for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen how much work Watson can handle after taking a seat for the second half of last Sunday's win at Miami due to a hip injury and also failing to practice until Friday, when he was limited. His availability Sunday was tied to a pregame workout, which went well enough for the Packers to make him available to the offense. Over the last six games, Watson has reeled off 25 catches (on 41 targets) for 408 yards and seven touchdowns, so he may be worth a start in the fantasy…read more

Set for pregame workout
Watson (hip) will undergo a pregame workout to determine whether he'll be active Sunday versus the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Watson didn't play in the second half of last Sunday's win at Miami due to a hip injury, which didn't allow him to mix into drills until Friday. He was limited in that session, and the Packers subsequently made him questionable ahead of Week 17 action. Watson is facing a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, so there won't be as many options for fantasy managers to turn to if the team ends up including him on its inactive list.

Questionable after limited practice
Watson (hip) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis: The return to practice gives some hope for a quick return after Watson missed the second half of last week's 26-20 win over Miami. He was targeted eight times in the first half, and fellow rookie Romeo Doubs joined Allen Lazard as a near-full-time starter in the second half (with Randall Cobb working the slot). It'll likely be a similar look this Sunday if Watson is deemed inactive ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Watson (hip) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Thursday that Watson was in line to practice in a limited capacity, but the rookie wide receiver ended up going down as a DNP for a second straight session.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Watson (hip) will return to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After missing the entire second half of Sunday's 26-20 win in Miami with the hip issue, Watson was a spectator Wednesday in the Packers' first Week 17 session. The rookie wideout looks like he'll be able to go through at least a handful of drills Thursday, a positive development with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Vikings. Ultimately, the Packers will wait until after Friday's practice before deciding whether Watson approaches the Week 17 contest with an injury designation.

Watson (hip) didn't practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he considers Watson day-to-day after the rookie sat out the second half of Sunday's 26-20 win in Miami. Fellow rookie Romeo Doubs played more than 80 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in the second half, after Watson caught six of eight targets for 49 yards in the first half. Lazard, Doubs and Randall Cobb will likely be Green Bay's top three wide receivers if Watson isn't available this Sunday against Minnesota.

The 23-year-old Watson failed to extend his four-game scoring streak -- in which he produced a whopping seven touchdowns -- but he did lead the team in targets.

Continues scoring spree
Watson caught three of six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown, and rushed once for 46 yards and another score in Sunday's 28-19 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Watson is one of the league's hottest playmakers, as he's now scored eight times in his last four games. The rookie's first touchdown Sunday came on a crucial, 14-yard catch on fourth down to close the first half. Watson then sealed the game by going untouched on a 46-yard jet sweep with under two minutes left.

Analysis: Watson remained scorching hot with his second 100-plus yard game over the last three weeks, while also chipping in his sixth total touchdown over that same timeframe. The surging rookie did most of his damage on a 63-yard catch and run from a crisp slant thrown by backup Jordan Love late in Sunday's narrow defeat.

Another two touchdowns Thursday
Watson brought in four of six targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns and added a three-yard rush in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night.
Analysis: Watson was third on the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night for the Packers, but he was once again on the receiving end of all of Aaron Rodgers' touchdown tosses. The rookie recorded scoring grabs of 14 and eight yards in the first and third quarters, respectively, giving him five end-zone trips in the last four days. Watson's next opportunity to extend that torrid stretch comes in a tough Week 12 road matchup against the Eagles a week from Sunday night.

Watson caught one pass for eight yards and had one carry for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Patriots.
Analysis: After missing Week 3 with a hamstring injury, Watson returned to action Sunday and played 18 snaps, the fourth most among Packers receivers. He garnered three targets and did not do much in the passing game, but he did put his speed on display on a second quarter jet sweep that netted him his first career score. Watson is not handling a key role in the offense, but he has shown a couple glimpses of the potential that made him a second-round draft pick back in April.

Logs full practice Thursday
Watson (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.
Analysis: Prior to sitting out Week 3 at Tampa Bay, Watson logged just one capped session due to a hamstring issue. This time around, he followed up a limited practice Wednesday with all activity one day later, setting him up to return to action Sunday versus the Patriots. With Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve, Watson likely is the Packers' top vertical threat in the passing game for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Limited again Wednesday
Watson (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Prior to being inactive this past Sunday at Tampa Bay, Watson sandwiched limited sessions around a missed practice last Thursday, so another capped session to begin this week isn't exactly a sign that a return to action is imminent. He'll have two more chances to bump up to full activity before the weekend, at which point the Packers may clear up his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Takes seat Sunday
Watson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Tampa Bay, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson entered the weekend with a questionable designation after being capped to one limited session due to a hamstring injury. He'll join Sammy Watkins (hamstring, IR) on the sideline, meaning the Packers' top trio at wide receiver Sunday will be Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb (illness) and Romeo Doubs. Watson, a rookie second-round pick, will aim to get healthy for a Week 4 matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 2.

Not expected to play Sunday
Watson (hamstring) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Packers will already be without Sammy Watkins (hamstring), who landed on IR on Saturday, though veteran Randall Cobb (illness) is expected to play Sunday. If Watson is indeed ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, it will fall to Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and potentially Cobb to act as Green Bay's clear top wideouts.

Questionable for Week 3
Watson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Watson managed just one limited session this week while tending to a hamstring injury, but he has a chance to suit up Sunday, unlike Sammy Watkins (hamstring), who has been ruled out. As for the rest of Green Bay's receiving corps, Allen Lazard (ankle) has been cleared to play, while Randall Cobb (illness) is questionable after missing practice Wednesday through Friday. If one or both of Cobb and Watson are limited or out this weekend, Romeo Doubs will have a path to additional work.

Back at practice Friday
Watson (hamstring) returned to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Green Bay got Watson and Allen Lazard (ankle) back from their respective injuries, but not Sammy Watkins (hamstring) or Randall Cobb (illness). If Watkins and Cobb are unable to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Watson and fellow rookie Romeo Doubs would both be in line for prominent roles alongside Lazard.

Not practicing Thursday
Watson (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The same applies to fellow wideouts Allen Lazard (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (hamstring). All three were limited during Wednesday's practice in pads, so it's possible that their non-participation Thursday is maintenance-related. Added context with regard to the health of the Packers' WR corps will arrive Friday upon the release of the team's final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Limited by hamstring Wednesday
Watson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Fellow wideouts Allen Lazard (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) were also limited participants, while Randall Cobb was absent due to an illness. Through two games as pro, Watson has been targeted seven times, gathering in five of those passes for 43 yards. If any of Lazard, Watkins or Cobb are sidelined Sunday at Tampa Bay, Watson would be in line for an elevated snap count, assuming he overcomes his own injury concern.

Just nine yards in Week 2
Watson caught all three of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Green Bay got the ball in Watson's hands around the line of scrimmage and let him try to pick up yards after the catch with his mix of size and speed, but the rookie second-round pick didn't get any opportunities downfield after an egregious drop in his NFL debut. Watson still faces significant competition for touches from Sammy Watkins, Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb heading into the Packers' Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers.

Wastes early opportunity
Watson caught two of four targets for 32 yards and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Watson dropped a would-be 75-yard touchdown on Green Bay's first offensive play, beginning his NFL career on a sour note. Although he subsequently got involved as a ball carrier and made a couple catches late in the game, the rookie second-rounder will surely strive for a better showing in Week 2 versus the Bears. Fortunately for him, he should continue to get opportunities to make plays as the Packers' receiving corps remains relatively fluid.

Notches full practice
Watson (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Watson was sidelined at the outset of training camp due to an offseason knee procedure and didn't make his first appearance at practice until Aug. 14. He subsequently didn't play during exhibition season, along with the Packers' top three other wide receivers on the depth chart (Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb). Lazard's status for Sunday's game in Minnesota is up in the air due to an ankle injury, which could result in decent run for Watson, the 34th overall pick in this year's…read more

Could play Sunday
Coach Matt LaFleur indicated Monday that he's hopeful Watson (knee) will be able to play Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow wideout Allen Lazard is dealing with an undisclosed issue that could impact his Week 1 status. Look for added context regarding both players to surface no later than Wednesday's practice and subsequent injury report. If Lazard and/or Watson are sidelined or limited this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb and Romeo Doubs.

Status still uncertain
Watson (knee) could be available for Week 1 against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick was activated off the PUP list earlier in August, but he never ended up playing in any preseason contests. As a result, it's unclear if Watson will be available when the Packers battle the Vikings on Sept. 11. Expect more information regarding the rookie's status to become clearer when the team releases its first official injury/practice reports. Watson still figures to sit below Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb and maybe even Romeo Doubs on the depth chart…read more

Not in line to play Thursday
Watson (knee) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game at Kansas City, Mike Spofford and Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site report.
Analysis: The same goes for fellow wide receivers Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb. The Packers activated Watson from the active/PUP list on Aug. 14 after he underwent a procedure on his knee between the offseason program and training camp, and while he mixed into team drills Monday, he has yet to receive clearance for game action. The rookie second-round pick's next chance to suit up is the team's season opener Sunday, Sept. 11 at Minnesota.

Status for Thursday uncertain
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that he's undecided whether Watson (knee) will play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Watson returned to practice last week for the first time since spring and has worked his way into full-team drills over the last couple days. However, Green Bay is still expected to remain extremely cautious with their second-round pick, so it's unclear if they'll thrust him into game action yet. While Watson won't need preseason experience to suit up Week 1, the exhibition game would certainly give him a prominent platform to prove himself capable of a sizable role heading into the regular…read more

Works into full-team sessions
Watson (knee) fully participated during the Packers' 11-on-11 drills Monday for the first time this preseason, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Watson followed up his debut in team sessions Sunday with an impressive 25-yard reception over cornerback Rico Gafford toward the end of second-team 11-on-11 drills Monday, according to Spofford. The rookie wideout has been hampered this preseason while recovering from an offseason knee procedure, though this leaping grab Monday seems to indicate that he's fully healthy for the first time since the start of training camp. Barring any setbacks, Watson should be set to make his preseason debut…read more

Logging snaps in team drills
Watson (knee) will participate in some team drills beginning Sunday, Zach Kruse of the USA Today reports.
Analysis: "He'll get some team reps today, and we'll see how he responds," coach Matt LaFleur noted Sunday of the rookie wideout. Watson, who missed the first two weeks of training camp while bouncing back from a knee procedure, was in uniform for Friday's preseason game against the Saints but didn't play. With that in mind, Kruse suggests that it's possible the 2022 second-rounder could see action in Green Bay's preseason finale (Thursday against the Chiefs) in the absence of any setbacks in the coming…read more

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Recovering from knee surgery
Watson clarified Thursday that he's "day-to-day" following offseason knee surgery that forced him to begin training camp on the active/PUP list, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Expected to miss time
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Wednesday that Watson (undisclosed) will "miss a little bit of time" after having a medical procedure during the offseason, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Neither player nor team has provided details on Watson's injury, apart from the Packers placing him on the PUP list and suggesting that he required a procedure but shouldn't be out for too long. Even if Watson 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 quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

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