Is Christian Watson playing tonight? Why Packers WR is off to quiet start in Week 10 image

The Green Bay Packers welcomed back wide receiver Christian Watson back from injury a few weeks ago and he has made an immediate impact.

Watson, who returned from a torn ACL in Week 8, reeled in six catches for 143 yards over his first two games this season.

However, Watson is off to a quiet start in the Week 10 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's take a look at what's happening with the veteran wideout.

Is Christian Watson playing tonight?

UPDATE: We're through three Packers drives and still no catch for Watson yet. The Packers are going VERY run-heavy, so the passing game hasn't seen much action.

Yes, Watson is on the field and playing for the Packers, and he saw a target on the first series but couldn't connect with Jordan Love. The Packers went Josh Jacobs-heavy on the opening drive, so there really wasn't much of an opportunity for anyone to get going.

The Packers are missing multiple wide receivers and their star tight end, Tucker Kraft, due to injury, so the Watson simply has to get going at some point.
