Practicing in pads Thursday

Watson (ribs) is wearing pads for Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Watson was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after sustaining a rib injury in Green Bay's Week 8 win over the Panthers. His participation level Thursday has yet to be revealed, but it's a good sign that Watson is able to practice in pads and take contact as the Packers prepare to face the Patriots on Sunday.
