Packers’ Watson to play for first time since tearing his ACL

Sports

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson appears set to make his season debut Sunday after recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The Packers have activated Watson from the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The move clears the way for him to play Sunday night at Pittsburgh. Watson hasn’t played since tearing the ACL in his right knee during Green Bay’s 2024 regular-season finale. He returned to practice three weeks ago and said this week he believed he was ready to return.

Watson caught 29 passes for 620 yards and two touchdowns last season.
