The Green Bay Packers have a question mark in wide receiver Christian Watson ahead of the Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Watson is listed as questionable to play due to an illness, but he is indeed expected to play on Saturday night, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
"Packers WR Christian Watson (shoulder/illness; questionable) good to go tonight vs. Ravens," NFL.com relayed.
Watson was initially on the injury report this week because of a shoulder injury, but he looked to be past that after logging two full practices during the week.
However, his status came into question on Thursday after the Packers wideout came down with an illness, which led to the questionable tag.
This is huge news for the Packers, as Watson has been the team's best and most consistent receiver since he made his 2025 debut in Week 8.
Despite missing almost half the season, Watson ranks second on the team in receiving yards with 498, and tied for third in touchdowns through the air with five.
Watson's status was even more important this week because the Packers won't have quarterback Jordan Love due to a concussion, which means Malik Willis will be starting for Green Bay.
Having Watson no doubt gives Willis a better chance to succeed against Baltimore.
The Packers have already clinched a playoff berth but can still win the division if they win their last two games while the Chicago Bears lose theirs.
Green Bay and Baltimore will kick off from Lambeau Field at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
