Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson said he’s planning on making his 2023 season debut on Thursday night against the Detroit Lions.

Watson, who injured his hamstring before the regular season, missed the Packers’ first three games. He didn’t play coy when asked if he’ll play against the Lions in Week 4.

“That’s the plan, that’s the plan. Yes sir,” Watson said Tuesday.

Watson said Tuesday’s walkthrough went well. The Packers listed him as a limited participant.

“I’m feeling really good with where I’m at,” Watson said.

Watson said his return to the lineup will provide a “different element” to the Packers offense.
