Watkins appears to be progressing well in his rehab.

"I’m good. I’m working out. Having fun with the guys," Watkins told ESPN on Wednesday. "I’m just getting back to working out and just happy to be with the team and great coaches. Just gotta keep getting better."

"I’m just believing in my staff. They are doing a great job," Watkins said. "Just gotta keep working out hard. Right now everything’s been going good. I’m healing. They are working me out the right way. The guys just keep motivating me every day and I just gotta keep getting better.”

Watkins had 65 catches for 982 yards and six touchdowns in his rookie season (started all 16 games). He was also rookie of the week three times during the season and had four games with more than 100 receiving yards.
