Progressing in rehab Head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Watson (knee) has "been outstanding" in his recovery from a torn right ACL and is "working hard," Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official s...
Impact LaFleur said Watson's work ethic approaching his ACL rehab has been impressive, per Ryan Wood of USA Today, but the timing of the young wideout's injury -- which occurred early January -- sheds serious doubt on his availability for the early portion of the regular season. Green Bay also invested significant draft capital at the wide receiver position in April's draft, selecting first-round pick Matthew Golden and third-rounder Savion Williams. With all of Jayden Reed (shoulder), Romeo Doubs (concussion), Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Mecole Hardman (knee) and Malik Heath still present, the Packers boast one of the league's most crowded wide receiver rooms, meaning Watson will face tough competition for snaps even if he achieves an exceptional recovery timeline.

Torn ACL confirmed Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Watson (knee) is done for the year due to a torn right ACL, Lily Zhao of Fox 6 News reports.
Impact Watson will miss the entirety of Green Bay's postseason, which will kick off Sunday on the road against the Eagles in a wild-card round matchup. The 2022 second-round pick may also be in significant danger of missing time during the 2025 campaign, due to the timing of his right knee injury. With Watson officially unavailable for the playoffs, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs (illness) and Dontayvion Wicks will start in three-wide sets for quarterback Jordan Love, while Bo Melton and Malik Heath are positioned to take on expanded depth roles.

Believed to have torn ACL Watson (knee) is believed to have sustained a torn right ACL and additional damage to his knee during Sunday's loss to the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Watson's injury timing is devastating both for his odds of being ready for the start of the 2025 season, and for a Packers team hoping to kick off a playoff push beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup in Philadelphia. The 2022 second-round pick suffered a non-contact injury in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to Chicago and was subsequentially carted to the locker room. Dontayvion Wicks will figure to step into the No. 3 role behind Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs (illness) in the wake of Watson's injury, with Bo Melton and Malik Heath also now slated for expanded roles.

Impact Watson appeared to suffer a non-contact injury while running a route early in the second quarter. He required assistance to reach the sideline and then was carted to the locker room before being ruled out after halftime. The exact nature of Watson's health concern isn't known but should be clarified in due time once the necessary battery of tests are undertaken. The Packers now have a few question marks in their receiving corps, as Romeo Doubs was sidelined due to an illness Sunday.

Ruled out of Sunday's game Watson (knee) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Bears.
Impact Watson needed a cart to get to the locker room early in the second quarter after he went down in the middle of a route. Initially deemed questionable to return, he now will remain out for the rest of Week 18 and potentially into the playoffs if his right knee injury eventually is considered to be a serious one. As for the rest of Sunday, with Romeo Doubs (illness) also sidelined, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath will compose the Packers' receiving corps.

Hurts knee Sunday Watson suffered a right knee injury during Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact Watson went down in the middle of a route early in the second quarter and needed assistance from the training staff to get off the field before being carted to the locker room. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 18 with no catches on one target.

Back in action Sunday Watson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact After Watson logged a second DNP in a row Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur told Bill Huber of SI.com that the wide receiver's availability for Week 18 likely would come down to Friday's practice. Watson ended up a limited participant in that session, which was enough for him to put an end to a one-game absence. Meanwhile, fellow WR Romeo Doubs was added to the injury report Saturday due to an illness, which left him questionable and eventually inactive for Sunday's contest. As a result, Watson, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks will be the Packers' primary receivers in the regular-season finale, while Bo Melton and Malik Heath also should mix in.
