Watson was elevated to the active roster for a second week in a row ahead of Sunday night's 20-3 loss to the Seahawks. The wide receiver reeled in his only target for seven yards while playing five snaps on offense and two snaps with the special-teams unit. The Chiefs can elevate Watson one more time before the team would have to officially sign him to the active roster.
