Christian Watson Practices in Pads Ahead of Matchup with Patriots

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson returned to practice wearing pads on Thursday, providing a positive sign for his availability in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Watson was limited in Wednesday's session due to a rib injury sustained during Green Bay's Week 8 win over the Panthers. Practicing in pads indicates he is cleared to absorb contact as the team completes game preparations.
