Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson isn\u2019t making any excuses about his missed opportunity in Monday\u2019s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n
In the first quarter, Packers quarterback\u00a0Jordan Love\u00a0threw a deep ball to Watson on 3rd-and-20 that he would have given the team possession inside the Eagles\u2019 10-yard line if he had caught it. Instead, Watson appeared to panic and turned into a defender on the play to stop Eagles cornerback\u00a0Quinyon Mitchell from making an interception.<\/p>\n
On replay, it seemed as though Watson could have made a play on the ball if he had tracked the pass better in the air. And when the question, \u201cShould Watson have caught this?\u201d made the rounds on social media, Watson didn\u2019t hesitate to give a blunt answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Watson responded, taking accountability in\u00a0a repost of the clip\u00a0on X.<\/p>\n
While more of a missed opportunity than a drop, Watson\u2019s mistake marked one of many for the Packers offense in their loss to the Eagles. They punted on their first four drives and didn\u2019t get points on the board until midway through the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Watson finished with a team-high 45 receiving yards on his two catches, but it offered little consolation as the Packers dropped their second game in as many weeks.<\/p>\n
Watson didn\u2019t come down with a potentially game-changing catch for the Packers in Monday night\u2019s loss to the Eagles, but he has reclaimed a modest role on offense in the three weeks since he returned from the ACL tear that ended his season last January.<\/p>\n
Watson has seen four targets in each of the three games since the Packers activated him from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on October 25, securing eight of them for 188 yards \u2014 good for a career-high 23.5 yards per reception. The Packers have also made an effort to dial up at least one deep-shot play for him each week since his return.<\/p>\n
If he holds his current pace, Watson will finish with a career high in receiving yards in 2025, even after missing the first six games of the regular season with his recovery.<\/p>\n
Even still, Watson\u2019s role could stand to expand in the weeks ahead as the Packers work to figure out ways to snap out of their offensive funk. Star wideout\u00a0Jayden Reed\u00a0is still on injured reserve, while first-round rookie\u00a0Matthew Golden\u00a0is nursing an injury to his shoulder that held him out of Week 10\u2019s showdown with the Eagles on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Regardless of his occasional mistakes, more Watson could be better for the offense.<\/p>\n
The Packers may also have no choice but to feature Watson more heavily on offense in the upcoming weeks if wide receiver\u00a0Romeo Doubs\u2019\u00a0chest injury proves significant.<\/p>\n
Doubs exited in the third quarter of Monday\u2019s game with a chest injury, and despite the team listing him as questionable to return, he stayed out for the rest of the night as the Packers tried and failed to rally with multiple possessions inside the final two minutes.<\/p>\n
While the Packers did not provide an immediate postgame update on Doubs\u2019 condition, it isn\u2019t ideal to have another wide receiver potentially on the injury report.\u00a0Dontayvion Wicks\u00a0and rookie\u00a0Savion Williams\u00a0both played against the Eagles on Monday night, but they also both entered the matchup with questionable designations due to injuries.<\/p>\n
While Wicks and Williams seem to be trending in the right direction, the Packers would take a significant hit if Doubs needed to miss time. He leads the team in receptions (35) and targets (53) through the first nine games and sits second in receiving yards (446) behind tight end\u00a0Tucker Kraft\u00a0\u2014 who is out for the season \u2014 as Love\u2019s top target.<\/p>\n
The Packers (5-3-1) will release their first injury report for Week 11\u2019s matchup with the\u00a0New York Giants (2-8) after Wednesday\u2019s practice, which will provide more details about the injury statuses of Doubs and the rest of their banged-up wide receivers.<\/p>\n
Before its game against the\u00a0San Jose Sharks\u00a0(7-6-3) the\u00a0Minnesota Wild\u00a0(7-7-3) recalled defenseman David Spacek from the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL).<\/p>\n
Spacek, 22, was a fifth round pick by the Wild from the 2022 NHL Draft. He has played in 145 games with the Iowa Wild in parts of three seasons. He has recorded seven goals, 42 assists and 49 points.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot defender has six assists in 12 games this season for Iowa. With Jake Middleton sick, adding Spacek will provide the Wild with a seventh defenseman incase someone can’t play tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
