Arrowhead Pride on Justin Watson
From the article
the Chiefs are signing former wide receiver Justin Watson to the practice squad... He was a good player for us when he was here... he can run, and he's fast; he has great size... he knows the offense; he's a smart kid... We felt like he could come back in and, as needed, contribute.
STACKED’s take
Watson returns to Chiefs as downfield option after Thornton injury; 64 catches in prior tenure.
Signed to practice squad after calf/Achilles injury with Houston; returns to Chiefs where he caught 64 passes over three years (2022-2024), with 49 of those on throws 10+ yards downfield per Pro Football Focus. Reid emphasized Watson's fit: 'He was a good player for us when he was here. Obviously, he can run, and he's fast; he has great size. He's willing to do everything; he knows the offense; he's a smart kid.' At 6'2", 215 lbs with 4.42 40-time and 40-inch vertical leap, Watson is positioned as a downfield option to fill Thornton's vacancy. Reid stated: 'We felt like he could come back in and, as needed, contribute. Step in and go with just a slight review, he should be fine and good to go.'
