Watson finished the 2025 regular season with 35 catches (on 55 targets) for 611 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games.

EDGE Analysis

Watson played a key role on the Packers' offense during Saturday's 31-27 NFC wild-card loss to the Bears, finishing with three catches (on seven targets) for 39 yards which included a seven-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love late in the first quarter. Watson missed the first seven games of the regular season while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 18 of the 2024 campaign. Despite the missed time, the fourth-year pro finished the regular season second on the Packers in catches, targets and yards behind Romeo Doubs. Even with Green Bay bringing in rookie Matthew Golden, Watson still played a key part in the offense, particularly after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 against the Panthers. Watson -- who the Packers selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft -- is under contract with Green Bay through the 2026 campaign.

Watson was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Though he suited up for Week 18, Watson didn't see any action after the Packers opted to rest most of their starters with an eye toward maintaining health heading into the wild-card round. Watson will likely play a prominent role in Saturday's playoff opener against Chicago. In two games against the Bears this season, Watson caught a total of six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns.

Watson recorded five receptions on six targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has been limited by his own injuries and the absence of Jordan Love (concussion) in recent weeks. However, he was the primary driver of the team's offense through the air in Saturday's loss while surpassing 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 14 of the 2024 season. Watson logged long receptions of 39, 31 and 23 yards, the longest of which went for a score early in the first quarter. Watson has logged at least 80 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and should be Green Bay's most productive receiver so long as he can remain on the field.

Watson (shoulder/illness) is active for Saturday's game against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After kicking off Week 17 prep with back-to-back full listings as he continues to deal with a lingering shoulder injury, Watson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, leaving him questionable ahead of the weekend. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Saturday afternoon that Watson was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Watson will be working within the confines of a Packers offense directed by Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) instead of Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion), the latter of whom was ruled out Friday, so coach Matt LaFleur may prioritize the ground game based on Willis' more mobile skill set. When Willis started Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2024 season in place of Love, Watson hauled in both of his targets for 67 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Watson, who was deemed a full practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday and was listed as questionable ahead of Week 17 action. However, Pelissero indicates that the wideout is ready to go versus Baltimore, with Watson's status, either way, set to be confirmed when inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Watson (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Ravens, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson opened Week 17 prep with back-to-back full listings before Thursday's absence, making him one of five Packers to have logged at least one absence to due illness this week. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's able to suit up, who will be directing Green Bay's offense is up in the air as both Jordan Love (left shoulder/concussion) and backup Malik Willis (right shoulder/illness) also are listed as questionable.

Watson brought in two of six targets for 17 yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was contained effectively by an injury-hampered Bears secondary, with the fact Jordan Love exited the game midway through the second quarter due to a concussion likely playing a factor. Watson had his own injury scare in the third quarter per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, but he was able to return to the game before the period was over. The veteran wideout's yardage total was his lowest of the season, and he'll aim to bounce back in a Week 17 home matchup against the Ravens next Saturday night.

Watson (chest/shoulder) is active for Saturday's game at Chicago, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson seemed destined to miss time after he suffered a chest injury last Sunday against the Broncos that forced a visit to a Denver-area hospital. Having said that, he followed up no activity at Tuesday's walkthrough with back-to-back limited practices, leaving the door open for him to play this weekend. Coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Thursday that Wednesday's session was "encouraging" for Watson, but that his availability was "going to come down to a medical decision and where he's at Saturday." With his status now confirmed for Week 16, Watson will join Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Bo Melton and Savion Williams as the wide receivers available to QB Jordan Love.

EDGE Analysis

Watson thus appears to have a chance to miss no time as a result of the chest-related injury that he sustained while laying out for a deep ball from QB Jordan Love this past Sunday against the Broncos that resulted in a trip to a Denver-area hospital. After he logged a limited practice Wednesday, Watson told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that he was "feeling pretty good" and expects to be "alright" for Week 16 action. On Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday's session was "encouraging" for Watson, but "it's going to come down to a medical decision and where he's at on Saturday," per Zach Kruse of USA Today. Watson's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was down on the ground for a while after an awkward fall during Saturday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He didn't rejoin the game, and was even sent to the hospital briefly, but he flew home with his teammates Sunday night before managing limited practice participation Wednesday.
