The Green Bay Packers are loaded on the offensive side of the football. However, their defense has been equally as impressive throughout the first two weeks of the 2025 NFL season.
So far, the Packers are a perfect 2-0. Those wins have come against the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, who were two of the best teams in football last season. It’s an impressive start, to say the least.
While Green Bay feels good about its offense, the team will receive a major reinforcement at some point in the coming weeks.

Christian Watson, who will miss at least the next few games as he finalizes recovering from a torn ACL, is getting closer to a return. He has been an elite deep threat for the Packers over the last three years.

Adding him into the offense would give Green Bay yet another big-play threat.
That being said, where does Watson stand in his recovery process? He provided an update on how he’s doing and it all sounds good for the Packers.
“I feel like if it was the NFC Championship Game tomorrow, I would be able to go out there and feel confident for sure,” Watson said. “But, at the end of the day, I got to be as smart as I can with it and not let it be a long-term thing. Nine months is long enough, so I want to get the nine months out the way and come back and be 100 percent Christian Watson and go out there and not have to worry about it anymore.”
Basically, Watson is close to being ready to from a physical perspective. However, Green Bay is going to play it safe and make 100 percent certain that his knee is good to go before throwing him out on the field.
Last season in 15 games, Watson showed off how big of a big-play threat he can be. He racked up 29 catches for 620 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 21.4 yards per reception.

Matt LaFleur and company would like to see him more involved in the offense, but those numbers are impressive. His presence alone gives Jordan Love the entire field to work with. When he returns, he’ll help take the Packers’ offense to the next level.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to return after the bye week. That seems to be the current plan. If he can, the Green Bay offense will become even more dangerous.
