Is Christian Watson playing today for Packers vs Ravens in Week 17?

Following the Detroit Lions’ loss on Christmas Day, the Green Bay Packers secured their spot in the postseason with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. Even so, they will be looking to claim an important Week 17 victory against the Baltimore Ravens, and the presence of Christian Watson on the field could prove to be a decisive factor.

According to the NFL’s official website, the talented wide receiver has been listed as questionable by the team due to illness, so his availability at Lambeau Field is not yet confirmed. Still, multiple reports suggest he is good to go and could suit up alongside the rest of his teammates.

The Packers currently hold a 9–5 record, sitting in second place in the NFC North behind the Bears. A win today is crucial for them to secure a higher seed in the upcoming playoffs.
