The Green Bay Packers got a much-needed dose of optimism during OTAs this week regarding Christian Watson. Speaking to media after Wednesday’s workout, head coach Matt LaFleur gave a promising update on the wide receiver, who continues to recover from an ACL tear suffered in the Packers’ season finale.
In a report by Zach Kruse of Packers Wire, LaFleur expressed confidence in Watson’s progress so far.
“Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he's ahead of schedule.”
The update is sure to give fans hope. ACL recoveries typically require 8–12 months, and with Watson injured in early January, a return before October is considered optimistic.
