Watson in focus

By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

TE Benjamin Watson, who has missed the last two games with a left ankle injury, was present at the end of the media-access period in the locker room. Watson declined comment when asked if he'd be ready to suit up Sunday.

Yet the fact Watson was putting on his game pants as the team prepares for practice might be an indication that Watson is nearing a return. Watson has missed the last two weeks of practice.

Either a sign that he is getting ready to come back or that the Pats want the Colts to have to prepare for him either way.

I'm willing to bet he'll be listed as a game time decision.

Did you see Kyle Brady or Wilson?

It will be key if Watson returns for the Indy Game...

Our three big receivers (Moss, Stallworth, Welker) are similar to Indy's big three (Wayne, Harrison, Clark). Watson could be a critical part to that game and make it real hard for the Colts to stop the Pats when they spread out 4 receivers.

I know the Colts have Anthony Gonzalez, but he's caught 14 passes for 200 yards. Does not have the same impact that Watson has. And I'm not saying that Watson will be the deciding factor in that game...but it will definitely be a big plus.

What is the story with Chad Jackson ? I thought they only had 21 days to activate him.
