Sammy Watkins (knee) returns to Packers practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) returned to practice on Thursday.

What It Means:

Watkins was limited after sitting out Wednesday's session. He should be active for Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The veteran receiver was targeted six times versus the Detroit Lions' porous secondary last week, but Watkins finished with just a nine-yard catch.

numberFire's models project Watkins for 4.1 targets with 2.5 catches and 29.7 yards on Sunday. The Cowboys have the second-best pass defense in the league, according to our advanced team metrics.
