The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys are set to square off in a massive Super Wild Card Weekend matchup. Mike McCarthy led the Dallas to their third consecutive 12-win season this year and a NFC East title. The Packers finished their 2023 season at 9-8. That included three consecutive wins to close out the season which qualified them for the post-season.
Christian Watson has missed the last five games due to a lingering hamstring injury. His father, however, shed some light on what Watson’s status currently looks like for Sunday.
Green Bay Packers: Christian Watson’s Father Gives Update On His Son Ahead Of Dallas Cowboys Matchup
Christian Watson’s father took to Twitter (X) to talk about Watson’s availability on Sunday:
PLEASE STOP ASKING: For those who keep asking me if Christian is playing… Folks, it truly is day to day, and his exact words to me- “Dad, I’m ‘doing’ everything I can to go.”
So, to all the critics and “social media doctors,” no, historically he actually hasn’t been injury prone(he started 51 consecutive college football games). To the “he doesn’t know how to condition properly” contingent, you just sound absolutely silly.
He’s an extremely well-conditioned world-class athlete… he’s not soft, and he damn sure has grit, and is as much of a “Dog” as any you’ll find on a football field… WE DON’T RAISE THEM ANY DIFFERENTLY IN OUR HOME!
So, the bottom line is every single avenue to make this happen is in action. We are all as frustrated for what’s been missed, but also excited for what’s to come as are those of you who are genuine fans.
All I know personally is that the last time the Cowboys placed NFLPA All Pro & Pro Bowl cornerback Deron Bland in front of Christian Watson, Scoot made that young man look like he didn’t even belong in the NFL… We are just prayerful that the opportunity for such a challenge is presented again this Sunday… All positive vibes and well wishes are appreciated!
Watson Being Added To The Lineup On Sunday Would Be Massive
Last year, Watson caught four passes for 107 yards and three touchdowns against the Cowboys, who struggled to contain his speed. It would be a significant boost for the offense to have him back entering the playoffs.
Recently, Jordan Love has performed at his best under pressure. To qualify for the playoffs, the Packers needed three straight wins. These wins saw Love complete 72.6% of his passes, throw for 791 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. All without Watson.
If Watson returned while this offense is already clicking, it could spell trouble for Dallas’ defense.
