Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was on the practice field Monday for the first time since tearing his right ACL in Week 18 last season.

The Packers have designated Watson to return from the physically unable to perform list and opened his 21-day practice window, according to multiple reports.

Watson, 26, set career highs in receiving yards (620), yards per catch (21.4) and games (15) in 2024 before hurting his knee on Jan. 5 and missing the Packers' wild-card playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

A second-round draft pick in 2022, Watson has 98 catches for 1,653 yards and 14 touchdowns in 38 career games (35 starts).

Watson signed a one-year, $11 million contract extension last month, keeping him with Green Bay through at least the 2026 season.

The Packers (2-1-1) are coming off a bye week and host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
