FOXBORO -- Tight end Benjamin Watson is hoping to play in his first game this season on Sunday, which could be a big lift for the Patriots offense. Watson, who was missed the first two games with a knee injury, has been at practice every day this week, and he said that he can't wait to finally play in a game. "I'm rehabbing and doing everything I can to get better," said Watson, who caught six touchdown passes last season and was a big threat in the red-zone. "It's going to be a coaching decision - what, how much, or if [I play], but I'm doing everything I can do." Watson has the most catches over a three-year span (114 catches from 2005-07) by a Patriots tight end over a three-year period since Ben Coats caught 165 passes from 1997-1999. "I'm very anxious," Watson said. "Injuries are something that happen to everybody at some point in time in their career but you just deal with it like anything else in life and try to come back from it."
