The Green Bay Packers announced on Saturday that receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was activated off of the injured reserve after he began practicing with the team this week. The Packers also placed receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) and offensive lineman Jake Hanson (biceps) on the injured reserve in corresponding roster moves. Green Bay’s roster is now officially at 52 players, meaning there’s still an outside chance that the team signs a player off of their practice squad before Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Watkins could be a key addition to the team, as both Christian Watson (hamstring) and Cobb will not play against Washington.
