Overview

  • Watson was designated for return from the PUP list and practiced Monday for the first time since tearing his right ACL on Jan. 5.
  • Team officials now have until Oct. 27 to activate him to the 53-man roster, and the Packers currently have two open spots available.
  • Watson said he felt great and has full confidence in his knee but acknowledged he needs to knock off rust after nine months out.
  • Green Bay also returned starting RT Zach Tom and LG Aaron Banks to practice and opened OL Jacob Monk’s 21-day window from IR.
  • DL Devonte Wyatt (knee) and RT Anthony Belton (ankle) did not practice Monday and could miss Week 6, increasing roster considerations as the Bengals visit.
