The Green Bay Packers got healthy at wide receiver and no longer needed veteran Sammy Watkins, who was released on Monday in what coach Matt LaFleur described as a “tough decision.” The Baltimore Ravens are hurting at wide receiver and needed veteran help, so the AFC playoff hopeful claimed Watkins off of waivers from the Packers on Tuesday.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network first reported the news.
Watkins, 29, caught 13 passes over nine games in Green Bay. He signed with the Packers this offseason after playing 14 games and catching 27 passes for the Ravens in 2021.
