With the young receivers on the roster finally getting healthy, the Green Bay Packers are releasing a veteran signed this offseason to help bolster the depth in the post-Davante Adams era.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Packers will release wide receiver Sammy Watkins on Monday.
Watkins, who signed a one-year deal to join the Packers, caught 13 passes for 206 yards and zero touchdowns over nine games in 2022. The veteran played 11 total snaps over the last two games and hasn’t caught a pass since Week 10.
Rookie Christian Watkins has emerged as a top playmaker for the Packers, and rookie Romeo Doubs is returning from a four-game injury absence.
