Watson has played in only 23 of 34 possible games since the Packers selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Eight of those absences were in 2023 due to a pulled right hamstring.

In January, ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that Watson underwent eight hours of testing at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health to determine the reason for his injury struggles.
