Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Watson is done for the year due to a torn right ACL,
Lily Zhao of Fox 6 News reports.
ANALYSISWatson will miss the entirety of Green Bay's postseason, which will kick off Sunday on the road against the Eagles in a wild-card round matchup. The 2022 second-round pick also may be in significant danger of missing time during the 2025 campaign due to the timing of his right knee injury. With Watson officially unavailable for the playoffs,
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs (illness) and
Dontayvion Wicks will be the regulars in three-wide sets for
Jordan Love (hand), if the quarterback gains clearance to play.
Bo Melton and
Malik Heath also are positioned to take on expanded depth roles.
