The Green Bay Packers haven't made an official announcement.
If so, the news on both fronts is more than welcome in Green Bay as they face a critical NFC North matchup against the Lions. Jones, a former Pro Bowler who tallied 1,516 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns last season, has been sidelined since Week 1 with a hamstring injury. Watson was slotted in as Green Bay's No. 1 receiver after a breakout rookie campaign. He's yet to play this season while dealing with his own ailing hamstring.
The Packers are off to a 2-1 start despite their absences with Jordan Love in his first season as Green Bay's starter. The offense struggled on Sunday with zero points through three quarters against the New Orleans Saints beforeThe offense was also missing starting left tackle David Backhtiari and left guard Elgton Jenkins against New Orleans. No. 1 cornerback Jaire Alexander was also a scratch. There was no word on Tuesday about their status for Thursday's game.
