Christian Watson set to play for Packers, Keisean Nixon listed as questionable

Published November 6, 2026 03:57 PM The Packers will have wide receiver Christian Watson in the lineup against the Patriots on Sunday afternoon. Watson was limited in practice all week because of injured ribs, but he doesn’t have an injury designation for Green Bay’s trip to New England. That’s also the case for guard Aaron Banks (calf) and safety Jevon Bullard (personal). Cornerback Keisean Nixon (groin) returned to practice after sitting out on Thursday and is listed as questionable. Running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) is in the same category while linebacker Zaire Franklin (shin), offensive lineman Travis Glover (knee), center Sean Rhyan (knee), and tight end Josh Whyle (concussion) have been ruled out. The team said earlier in the week that defensive end Micah Parsons (knee) won’t be activated from injured reserve. Running back Chris Brooks (ankle) is also eligible to be activated and he is considered questionable heading into the weekend.
