Source transcript excerpt
Christian Watson on the other side is someone who's becoming like a a beast in this Packers offense and Jordan Love's number one target. Now, how I feel about Watson is going to highly depend on who is back for the Green Bay Packers this game because we do have Jaden Reed back to a limited practice... We have Matthew Golden back to a limited practice here... And that's where I get a little bit of concern with Christian Watson this week. Like overall, he's been great. The matchup on paper looks good, but they did get Jaylen Johnson back last week, the Chicago secondary.
