He’s Back: Packers’ Star Receiver Returns, Ready to Torch the Steelers in a Week 8 Showdown!

It seems that it is just a matter of time before Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gets back to the field for the first time since suffering a serious knee injury in the final Green Bay game in the 2024 NFL regular season. It is even possible that he gets the call to play at last this coming Sunday, when the Packers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 8 game on the road.

Watson has returned to practice, with his 21-day practice window opened on Oct. 6. That means that the Packers have less than a week to decide on whether they would activate him to join Matthew Golden and the other active wide receivers or be forced to sit the former North Dakota State Bison star wideout out the rest of the season.

Golden can’t wait to have Watson back on the field with the Packers

As Watson awaits his looming return, Golden has expressed his desire to finally share the field with him. He is confident of the damage his tandem with Watson would inflict on opposing defenses because of their speed.

“(That’s) a lot of speed, man,” said Golden, who has caught seven passes for 123 yards over the past two games. “I’m excited for him coming back. Definitely going to open up a lot of things.

“I’ve watched him work each and every day to get back where he is now. I’m excited for him. I’m ready to see him go.”

As Watson awaits his looming return, Golden has expressed his desire to finally share the field with him. He is confident of the damage his tandem with Watson would inflict on opposing defenses because of their speed.

Golden’s ability to create separation using his speed is one of the major reasons Green Bay took him in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While he’s yet to have a huge game in Packers uniform, that should come sooner than later, and having Watson back is likely to benefit the rookie’s chances to get even better looks downfield from quarterback Jordan Love.

On the season, Golden has 249 receiving yards with zero touchdowns on 18 receptions and 23 targets through six games.

 

Eagles Legend Wants to Withdraw from Eagles Hall of Fame If Kevin Patullo Isn't Fired
Can you believe it? A living legend of the Philadelphia Eagles, LeSean McCoy, is "rebelling" and threatening to withdraw from the Eagles Hall of Fame – the place that honors his great contributions! The reason? All because of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo! What's happening with this legendary team? Read now for the hottest NFL "drama"! On his Speakeasy show, McCoy "dropped a bomb" with a shocking statement: “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.” (Translation: "Remove me. No one has ever asked. I'm going to say 'Mr. Lurie, it's either me or Kevin'. If Kevin isn't fired, put number 25 back on the street.") Number 25 – McCoy's legendary jersey number – could be "kicked out" of the Hall of Fame if Patullo remains in position? This isn't a joke, but a direct challenge to team owner Jeffrey Lurie! This "extreme" demand stems from extreme disappointment with the disastrous performance of the Eagles' offense under Patullo. The team that once "soared high" is now "free-falling" with silly mistakes, and McCoy isn't the only one "furious." Even Josh Reynolds "cursed" Patullo: “Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed…” (Translation: "Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed...") Is Patullo the "culprit" causing the Eagles to "sink"? Look at the "tragedy" of quarterback Jalen Hurts: In the most recent Monday Night Football game, he threw three interceptions – one of which was blamed on AJ Brown! Comparing this year's offensive stats to last year? Worlds apart! The problem isn't just the weak offensive line, but also the play-caller – Patullo is "miserably compared" to Kellen Moore, who once elevated the offense to new heights. The article points out: The Eagles are repeating a "historical curse" – the offense always "collapses" after losing a good coordinator, like in previous Super Bowl runs. Nick Sirianni is heavily criticized for the decision to hire Patullo: "A fatal mistake"! 👀 Eagles legend LeSean McCoy says if #Eagles do not fire OC Kevin Patullo he wants out of Hall of Fame “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street”📸 @speakeasytlkshw pic.twitter.com/DcOkLiQejA — Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) December 10, 2025 And the "darkest" data: In shotgun formation (51 plays), the Eagles only achieved 4.2 yards/play, 2.2 yards/rush, 5.2 yards/pass, with 4 "stupid" interceptions. But under center (15 plays)? Explosive with 10.2 yards/play, 8.8 yards/rush, 16.0 yards/pass, and 0 interceptions! Clearly, the offense performs "miraculously" better when balanced – so why is Patullo still "stubbornly persisting" with the outdated play style? Eagles fans are "boiling with rage": Will the team listen to McCoy and "deal with" Patullo to save the season? This drama is "exploding" on social media! McCoy – with his illustrious career at the Eagles – is he really withdrawing from the Hall of Fame? Or is this a "ploy" to push for change? Who will Jeffrey Lurie choose: The legend or the "culprit"? Don't miss out – follow now to see the "shocking" outcome of the Eagles' internal war! What do you think, comment below!
