In August, Lakyn Watson shared the same photo documenting their last Family Night before the arrival of their son.

Watson has yet to see action yet this season as he continues to recover from a torn ACL in Week 18 of the 2024 season. The Green Bay Packers have activated him to the 21-day window which indicates he could make his season debut in the very near future.

In his first three seasons of the NFL, Watson has dealt with numerous soft tissue injuries. His return to the Green Bay Packers offense will be an added target for quarterback Jordan Love.
