Watson turned up limited at Thursday's practice with an ankle injury, and that's worth noting.

He's been Green Bay's most reliable offensive weapon this season — 31 catches, 557 yards, 6 touchdowns through eight games, by far the most productive skill player on the roster. The rest of the wide receiver room hasn't come close: Bo Melton is questionable himself, and the next options behind him have combined for modest production in limited roles. If Watson misses time, Love loses the one receiver defenses have to account for.

The timing is awkward. Green Bay is 4-2, holding a playoff spot, with 11 games left and a defense that's been held together with tape and goodwill. The offense has been the stable half of this team. Watson is a significant part of why. A limited practice Thursday doesn't mean he's out Sunday, but it's the kind of thing you watch closely when your depth chart at receiver doesn't offer a proven fallback.

No designation yet. We'll see what Friday's report says.
