[Tom Silverstein] Sounds like #Packers WR Christian Watson is returning Sunday to play the #Steelers. “I could have played last week, to be honest,” he said. He said he believes the goal for him and the team is for him to play this week.
October 22, 2025
Schneidman : Christian Watson: “My goal and my plan is to play this week.” Said that’s been his mindset every week, but added that conversations with the team indicate that’s the direction it’s headed.
Correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t this the final week of his 21-day window?
Let’s go!
Hyped, his big play ability can take the top off of opposing defenses. Alternatively, if opponents keep a safety high as a counter to the deep ball, should open up all sorts of short/underneath routes for Doubs, Golden, and Kraft.
Please don’t get hurt again, please don’t get hurt again, please don’t get hurt again 🙏🏻
I’ve been unreasonably excited for him to come back. He just does so much for the offense. Super pumped for this game.
LFG 9!

Oh hell yeah. Wyatt and Watson back? Should see both sides of the ball improve.
Him and Golden are going to properly stretch the defense if our O-line can give Love time
THE BAD MAN IS BACK
Can you imagine a safety looking at Golden on one side and Watson on the other? Pick your poison bro!
Weren’t the Steelers letting the Bengals hit slant after slant after slant to Chase?
Might be an idea!
LFG. I think he should be paced though and we continue to spread the ball, open up the offense and keep Pittsburgh’s secondary guessing
This should also be a boon in the running game Watson is one of the better blockers we have at wr if not the best.
45-41 score game incoming
Pick your poison Golden or Watson because their will be speed on the outside, or get Kraft and Doubs in your face
Don’t the Steelers have horrible field conditions?
Our blocking needs to improve to fully
take advantage of him.
Watson and golden over the top to open things for Kraft doubs wicks underneath. Then reeds gadget ability when he returns too. Should hopefully make running the ball easier too.
The only thing I’ll say is that sometimes loves gets greedy like going for a TD in 3rd and 4. Just take what the defense gives you but hopefully the defense gives a lot more now.
Has the season even really started until Christian Watson is injured?
First ball bombed downfield. Jordan actually hits him in stride. He catches it for a TD. Retribution for his entry into the league.
Golden, Watson, Dobbs, Kraft, Jacobs on the same field. With a healthy offensive line.
God damn that’s gonna be hard to stop.
Hoping that the surgeon made him bionic.
Does this take some burden off Wicks?
He’s on pace for the same number of receptions he always gets, but his yards are way down and he hasn’t scored yet, he’s been the WR2 since Reed/Watson have been out with Golden primarily in the slot yeah?
With Watson back (I’m sure pitch count at first) maybe he gets the opportunity for some deeper routes again, Wicks always seemed better off in the middle of the field and deep compared to this dink and dunk stuff.
Golden and Watson on go routes, Kraft over the middle, Doubs on a crossing route and Jacob’s as the check down … it’s a cheat code.

First play: 75 yard TD to Watson.
