The reports by Jeremy Fowler after he got injured were "he has a shot to be back for a playoff run". Google says his injury usually takes up to three months to recover from. That would mean he could realistically return around mid to late January. If his rehab is ahead of schedule like Hollywood's is (original reports said he'd miss the entire regular season) then he might have a small chance of making it back for the game at Denver.
Bottom line is...
1. His latest pictures on IG show him wearing normal shoes (no injury boot) and walking around.
2. When Daniel Harms on twitter said to someone "Watson is out for the year", Jaylen replied to him and said "Who said that?".
3. Now out of the blue he's saying "never count me out"
So the pics provide physical proof that his injury has healed to the point that he's walking around fine and wearing normal shoes. His response to Daniel confirms what the original reports stated about him having a chance to return for the playoffs. And his latest hint suggests rehab is on schedule. We just have to wait and see now. The fact that KC never made a move to replace him makes me think they expect him back tbh.
Now if Williams goes on a good run of games and we do get Watson back, then our secondary could be in a good place come playoff time. We'll see.
