Packers WR Christian Watson honored to earn Green Bay’s Ed Block Courage Award

Key Highlights

• His recovery extended nearly nine months before he returned in Week 8.
• Despite limited early snaps, his trademark explosiveness quickly reemerged and added a vertical dimension back into the offense. Since returning, the fourth-year pass catcher has provided steady and timely impact amid a tightly contested NFC North race.
• Over nine games, Watson recorded 30 receptions for 498 yards and five touchdowns, averaging more than 16 yards per catch.
• His presence helped stabilize a passing attack navigating injuries and narrow margins in a division where playoff positioning remains unsettled with two weeks left in the NFL season. The recognition extended beyond production.
• The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman shared a clip on X (formerly known as ) of Watson addressing the media inside the Lambeau Field locker room, emphasizing how meaningful it was to receive validation from teammates after such a challenging year.“Anytime you get any kind of recognition for the work that you put in, it definitely brings a little bit more to it,” Watson said.
