Packers’ Sammy Watkins could face Bills for first time in his career

Sammy Watkins might be facing the Buffalo Bills for the first time in his career in Week 8.

On Saturday, the Green Bay Packers activated the receiver from the team’s injured reserve list. He had missed the last four games with a hamstring injury.

This spring, the 29-year-old signed as a free agent with the Packers. Due to injury, his status was up in the air for Buffalo’s Week 8 matchup with Green Bay following the bye.

Pending any setbacks this Sunday when the Packers face the Washington Commanders, Watkins will face the Bills in Buffalo for the first time in his career since the team traded him.
