Packers’ Christian Watson Returns to Practice as He Continues Comeback From Torn ACL
Christian Watson started his 21-day activation window after returning to practice nine months post-ACL injury, moving closer to rejoining the Packers’ active roster this season.
- On Oct. 6, 2025, Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers wide receiver, returned to practice at the Packers facility for the first time since reconstructive knee surgery last January.
- Christian Watson tore his right ACL on Jan. 5 during the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears and has been cutting and running routes for nearly two months, pushing his rehab.
- Watson posted 29 receptions for 620 yards in 2024, and `I mean, it felt great` after practice, with his knee confidence at 100%.
- The Packers opened a 21-day activation window after designating Watson for return, allowing him to join the 53-man roster anytime since the Green Bay Packers roster has 51 players.
- With a one-year extension last month, Watson's timeline became more flexible as the team expects a late-October return if he stays on track, helping while Jayden Reed is sidelined six to eight weeks.
