The rich always get richer, and the Green Bay Packers will be absolutely loaded.
They already have a stacked offense, and more help could be on the way.
As reported by NFL insider Ari Meirov, Christian Watson is inching closer to making his season debut:
“The Packers have designated WR Christian Watson to return from PUP. He is practicing today,” Meirov posted on X.

The Packers lost their playmaking wide receiver in the regular-season finale last season.
He looked to be ahead of schedule for most of training camp, and he even admitted that he would’ve probably been able to play weeks ago if the Packers were in the playoffs.
Fortunately, his team didn’t need him to rush his way back.
But now that the second-round pick is almost set to return, it shouldn’t take long before he reclaims his spot as the team’s primary pass-catcher.
The Packers signed him to a one-year contract extension earlier this year, proving that they still have confidence in him despite his never-ending injury woes.
Availability will continue to be a concern with him until proven otherwise, given that he’s missed plenty of time since entering the league out of North Dakota State.
Even so, his physical traits and talent are simply undeniable.
The Packers are also without Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs has been the team’s de facto WR1 in the meantime.
Rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden has been brought in slowly, but he could be in for a bigger role coming out of the bye week.
And with Josh Jacobs and Tucker Kraft also there, Jordan Love will have plenty of weapons to work with.
