Overview
- Watson practiced Monday for the first time since tearing his right ACL on Jan. 5 and said his trust in the knee is 100%.
- The designation for return from the PUP list allows 21 days of practice without a roster spot, and the team has not set a debut date.
- Initial work was limited to individual drills as coaches evaluate how he responds before clearing team reps and game action.
- Green Bay also saw starting linemen Zach Tom and Aaron Banks return to practice and opened Jacob Monk’s IR window.
- With Jayden Reed on IR after a collarbone fracture, Watson’s deep-threat profile (21.4 yards per catch in 2024) could be pivotal, though DT Devonte Wyatt and OT Anthony Belton did not practice and are in doubt for Week 6.
