In his pre-practice presser on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that receiver Sammy Watkins will be at practice “in a limited capacity” today. Watkins was placed on the injured reserve list in Week 3 with a hamstring injury, meaning his return to practice will open up a three-week window in which he can practice with the team before being activated to the 53-man roster.
On the topic of Watkins playing against the Washington Commanders, LaFleur said, “I don’t think anybody’s ready to say that he’ll be playing this week.” Watkins recorded 93 receiving yards against the Chicago Bears the last time we saw him on the field and played 67 percent and 65 percent of offensive snaps for the Packers in Week 1 and Week 2, respectively.
