Watson has cleared concussion protocol already and will be available for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys.

Packers WR Romeo Doubs suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Doubs is undergoing further testing to get a better idea of how long he'll be out, but Rapoport notes that these tend to be 4-6 week injuries. We're unlikely to see Doubs again until December, so he can be dropped in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Allen Lazard is locked in as Green Bay's #1 WR going forward.

RB AJ Dillon led the Packers in carries at Detroit on Sunday, with Aaron Jones leaving early for an ankle injury. Dillon ran for just 34 yards on his 11 attempts, though, adding 10 yards on 2 catches among 4 targets. Jones left after rushing 9 times for 25 yards and 2-20 receiving. Kylin Hill claimed the only other RB rush in the game. We'll see about Jones' status for next Sunday's matchup with Dallas.

QB Derek Carr threw for only 101 yards, with no TDs and 1 INT before giving way to Jarrett Stidham in garbage time. Jacobs also gave way late in the game to RB Ameer Abdullah, who finished with 5 targets (all in the 2nd half). We're not worried about Jacobs off this outing.
