Source: Packers release veteran WR Sammy Watkins before MNF

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Sammy Watkins experiment is over for the Green Bay Packers.

A source confirmed that he has been released before Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

It comes as rookie receiver Romeo Doubs is set to return from his ankle injury, putting the Packers receiver group back at full strength. The Packers want to see what Doubs and fellow rookie Christian Watson can do together. As a tandem, they've been on the field together for only 52 snaps this season. Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard also are healthy.
