GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be thin at receiver for Sunday’s showdown.
According to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter, Randall Cobb (illness) is expected to play but Christian Watson (hamstring) likely will wind up on the inactives list. That means the Packers probably will be down two of their top receivers, with veteran Sammy Watkins placed on injured reserve on Saturday.
It’s a tough break for Watson, who grew up in Tampa and played at Plant High School.
“It’s amazing,” Watson said this week.
