Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Watson (chest) won't need to be held out of practice for any precautionary reasons this week, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
After clearing the concussion protocol in advance of the Packers' Week 9 game against the Lions, Watson checked out of the game at one point during the 15-9 loss to be evaluated for a concussion. Though he remained sidelined the rest of the way, LaFleur noted after the game that the rookie cleared the concussion protocol and was instead dealing with a chest injury after taking a shot from a defender. Watson looks like he'll be a full participant when Green Bay returns to the field Wednesday, and he should have a fair chance at avoiding the Week 10 injury report entirely. With fellow rookie wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) in danger of missing multiple weeks due to a sprain, Watson's availability on offense will be key for the Packers as the team prepares for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.
