Matt LaFleur: Christian Watson ahead of schedule in ACL recovery
Our Summary
Packers wide receiver Christian Watson appears to be recovering well from a torn ACL, with both Watson and his head coach, Matt LaFleur, providing positive updates. Watson participated in a recent OTA practice, although he later moved to the rehab field. LaFleur mentioned Watson is ahead of schedule but didn't specify a return date. A stint on the PUP list at the start of training camp seems likely, which could sideline Watson for at least four games if extended into the regular season. Further updates from the Packers are expected before any final decisions.
