The Green Bay Packers‘ offense is stacked.
However, even the rich can get richer, and this team may be about to get wealthy.
According to multiple reports, wide receiver Christian Watson is close to making his season debut, and he could take the field against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8.
Watson has already let it be known that he’s ready to go.
“I feel like I could have played last week,” Watson said.
Christian Watson believes it is the #Packers plan for him to play this week against Steelers, he said. Not a moment too soon,
“I feel like I could have played last week.”
Sounds like his 2025 debut will come in Pittsburgh.

The Packers are nearing the end of Watson’s 21-day practice window, as they’ve erred on the side of caution as he worked his way back from a knee injury he suffered last season.
That may have been the right approach, all things considered.
As talented as he is, Watson has struggled to stay healthy, so they were right to be patient to make sure he was fully healed.
He’s been quite vocal about his recovery and even claimed he could’ve played in Week 1 of this season if it were a playoff game.
Watson will give Jordan Love yet another strong weapon for the passing game.
The Packers quarterback is having an MVP-caliber season, and adding Watson to the mix will only help his case.
Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs have been the primary beneficiaries of Watson’s absence, and they will probably remain the top targets as the Packers ease him back into action.
Having him back would be great news, especially facing Aaron Rodgers on “Sunday Night Football.”
