Now, onto his ankle injury. At first, it seemed like a high ankle sprain. And yeah, that pain? It can keep you sidelined for weeks. But somehow, Watson’s been pushing through it. After missing just one game, he returned last week against the Cardinals.
What’s your perspective on:
Can Christian Watson's fiery momentum carry the Packers to victory despite his nagging ankle injury?
Have an interesting take?
Also this week, he’s been practicing in limited sessions. And that’s definitely a good sign. The Packers are playing it smart and safe though, ensuring he doesn’t aggravate anything further. Two days of limited practice sounds like progress. Yes! But it’s Friday’s practice report that’ll be the real tell.
For fantasy football managers? Well, Watson’s return is sweet music to their ears. He’s got serious value, especially if he’s hitting those end zones again. And how could we forget last season! Dude stacked up 28 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns in just nine games. And fantasy owners are hoping he’s ready to roll this Sunday.
