Naturally, for a player who has been as injury-prone as\u00a0Packers\u00a0receiver\u00a0Christian Watson\u00a0in his career, especially as he comes off the most serious injury he\u2019s had as an\u00a0NFL\u00a0player\u2013an ACL tear in January\u2013there is going to be concern raised when his name crops up on the injury report. And Watson, after Week 10\u2019s team-wide dud against the Eagles on Monday, was indeed on the injury report on Thursday, ahead of the Packers\u2019 next game against the\u00a0Giants.<\/p>\n
Watson was listed as \u201climited\u201d this week, with injuries to his knee and hamstring, which has pretty much been the story of his career to this point. But, he explained after practice, he\u2019s not actually injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t classify it an injury because I didn\u2019t get injured. It wasn\u2019t during the game, just feeling sore,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n
Watson explained that Packers coaches are just seeking to be careful with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, they gotta do what they gotta do,\u201d said Watson, who had two catches for 45 yards on Monday. \u201cI definitely, if it were up to me, I am not injured, so I mean, they just gotta do what they gotta do. I am good. I have no worries in terms of where I am gonna be at for Sunday. Just precautions, I guess for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am just sore. I am still in kind of the ramp-up phase, coming back from the ACL. So, I am just sore. Got a decent amount of snaps in the game and everything. Enough to be smarter about the rep count in practice but I mean, I feel fine, confident about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Packers had only one player\u00a0miss practice in full\u00a0on Thursday, and that was cornerback Nate Hobbs.<\/p>\n
The full list of limited participants was, in addition to Watson: Kingsley Enagbare (knee), Matthew Golden (shoulder), Micah Parsons (pec), Zach Tom (back),\u00a0Lukas Van Ness\u00a0(foot), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot).<\/p>\n
Getting Van Ness back will add some firepower to the Packers defense, as he has been out since Week 5, against the\u00a0Bengals. Van Ness had 1.5 sacks when he went out, and three tackles for a loss.<\/p>\n
Coach Matt LaFleur addressed his return before practice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just think he\u2019s a really good player. So, you always want good players out there on the field,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cHis versatility is something I think could give players a boost.\u201d<\/p>\n
The storm surrounding the New York Yankees\u2019 offseason just got louder. Following reports that owner Hal Steinbrenner has ordered the front office to slash payroll below $300 million for 2026, a former Yankees manager has spoken out \u2014 and his words have struck deep within the Bronx faithful.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Yankees I knew were built on pride, not profit,\u201d he said firmly. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to build a money machine instead of a team that represents what the Yankees spirit used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
His comments come as the organization faces growing backlash for tightening budgets despite generating over $728 million in revenue last year, the second-highest in Major League Baseball. Fans have accused Steinbrenner of prioritizing financial efficiency over championships, especially after the team\u2019s early playoff exit to the Blue Jays reignited the frustration of a 16-year title drought.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you walk into that clubhouse, you should feel history \u2014 Mantle, Jeter, Rivera, all those names meant something,\u201d he continued. \u201cNow, you walk in and it feels like a spreadsheet. It\u2019s sad to say, but that fire \u2014 that edge \u2014 it\u2019s fading.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he stopped short of naming Steinbrenner directly, his message was unmistakable: the Yankees have lost touch with the bold, win-at-all-costs identity once personified by Hal\u2019s father, George Steinbrenner.
Several former players and local columnists have echoed the sentiment, suggesting that Hal\u2019s cost-cutting mandate risks undermining morale inside the organization and alienating a fan base already weary of corporate decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
