A week into Packers training camp, one connection keeps flashing over and over: Jordan Love and Christian Watson.
No matter who’s reporting or which practice is being watched, Watson keeps showing up as the guy making the big play. The pattern has become so steady that it’s hard not to notice.
Andy Herman captured one of those moments with this line: "Anddd another strike to Watson on a crosser from Love. Beautiful play.
Great protection by Belton."
That’s the kind of language that tells you this isn’t a one-off. It’s becoming a daily camp refrain for Green Bay’s offense, with Watson turning into Love’s go-to option for touchdowns, sideline shots, and other explosive plays. The chemistry between the two has looked natural and sharp, and it’s doing plenty to raise expectations for what they can do in 2026.
The biggest concerns around Watson have never really been about talent. They’ve centered on staying healthy and on the depth Green Bay has had at receiver. The depth issue is still a real part of the picture, but it also creates a clearer runway for Watson and Love to keep building on what they’re showing in camp.
That’s why the ceiling talk is starting to get loud. With questions still lingering about how long it will take Tucker Kraft to get back up to speed, a 1,200 receiving yard season and double-digit touchdowns for Watson is very much on the board. The only real caveat is the same one that has followed him through all four seasons of his career: he has yet to get through a full year without missing time.
Even so, there’s a sense that Watson is due for some injury luck, and Matt LaFleur’s offense is set up with him as Love’s primary target. If that holds, Green Bay’s extension could end up looking like a bargain ahead of what might be a breakout season.
It’s still camp, and camp can fool people. But this isn’t coming out of nowhere.
Love and Watson have already been showing this kind of connection in the regular season, and training camp is only amplifying it. Right now, the signs point to a duo that could be headed for the best seasons of both of their careers.

Packers Could Make One Veteran Move To Ease A Growing Concern
The Packers are taking a hard look at their tight end room as injuries continue to test the depth chart, and the answer could come from a familiar veteran who still brings something this offense could use. Adding Zach Ertz would give Green Bay another experienced pass-catching option and a steady presence for a group that has been leaning on younger pieces and hoping health holds up.
Ertz is expected to be ready early in the season after coming back from an ACL tear, which makes him an intriguing short-term fix for a position that suddenly feels thinner than planned. For a team trying to keep its offense on schedule, the appeal is obvious, even if any move at this point remains only a possibility. [Read more 🡒]
Anthony Campbell Is Suddenly In The Middle Of A Packers Roster Fight
Anthony Campbell has found himself in the middle of a Packers roster battle at just the right moment. The defensive lineman prospect is competing for a place on Green Bays 53-man roster while injuries have thinned the group around him, and he has made the most of the extra opportunity. In recent practices, Campbell has stood out with pass deflections and strong work in one-on-one drills, the kind of small but meaningful signs that can change a camp conversation fast.
For Campbell, the push is also the latest stop in a winding football path that has taken him from Independence Community College to Louisiana Monroe, then Miami, before a stint on the Seahawks practice squad and now Green Bay. Players with that kind of background know how quickly a chance can come and go, and the Packers are giving him a real look at a time when every healthy body matters. What happens next will say plenty about whether this surge is enough to carry him onto the final roster. [Read more 🡒]
