Both players are fighting hamstring injuries, and both were
listed as limited participants in Tuesday's practice report.
Asked after practice if he was playing Thursday, Watson told
reporters, "That's the plan."
And fellow wide receiver Romeo Doubs reportedly said, "We'll
have 33 back" without prompting, a reference to Jones' jersey
number.
Jones and Watson would give the Packers (2-1) their full arsenal
of offensive weapons for the game against their NFC North rival.
Neither played Sunday in the Packers' 18-17 win over the New
Orleans Saints; Watson has yet to make his season debut.
Jones sustained a hamstring injury at the end of his 35-yard
touchdown catch-and-run in Green Bay's 38-20 victory over the
Chicago Bears in Week 1. He finished with nine carries for 41
yards and a score as well.
Offensive lineman Zach Tom (knee) and cornerbacks Jaire
Alexander (back) and Carrington Valentine (biceps) were upgraded
to limited practice participants on Tuesday. Offensive linemen
David Bakhtiari (knee, rest) and Elgton Jenkins (knee) missed
practice, as did linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (ankle) and
safety Zayne Anderson (hamstring).
For the Lions (2-1), center Frank Ragnow returned to practice in
full on Tuesday. Tackle Matt Nelson (ankle), guard
Halapoulivaati Vaitai (knee) and fullback Jason Cabinda (knee)
were out.
Detroit tackle Taylor Decker (ankle), guard Jonah Jackson
(thigh), running back David Montgomery (thigh), cornerback
Emmanuel Moseley (knee, hamstring) and safety Kerby Joseph (hip)
were limited.
