The Green Bay Packers are going into the 2025 season with expectations of once again competing for a playoff spot and hopefully a deep run. This season, Green Bay built up an 11-4 record and secured a playoff spot. However, they would lose their next three games, including a season ending loss to Philadelphia.
Going into next season, injuries will already be a major factor.
“I Can’t Believe It” Packers Fans In Disbelief As Injury News Spills Into 2025 Season
The Chicago Bears’ Christian Watson tore his ACL during Week 18 and Ian Rapoport reported further damage. In an important update on Watson’s injury, his father, Tazim Wajid Wajed, shared this on Wednesday:
Not asking you to break any confidences here.
Just wondering if there’s a prognosis yet for Scoot. I understand it sometimes takes time for swelling to go down, etc.
Any idea when the public will get more info?
Praying for his complete recovery.

According to Wajed, Christian has a normal ACL injury. He will do pre-surgery strengthening and is expected to be back during the 2025 season, around Week 12.
Usually, the Packers tend to have players back from ACL injuries after 10 or 11 months. As Watson’s injury was in early January, a return in late November would realistically be in play.
Here is a look at Watson’s stats this season:
