Packers release Sammy Watkins ahead of Week 15 contest
The Green Bay Packers have released wide receiver Sammy Watkins ahead of their Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams.
What It Means:
The Packers released Watkins a few hours before they were slated to play one of the former first-round pick's previous teams. His release could signal the return of rookie Romeo Doubs, who has been sidelined by an ankle injury, to the lineup. Watkins will go on waivers.
Watkins' tenure in Green Bay was a fairly unproductive one, resulting in 13 catches for 206 yards across 9 games. The Packers appear set to rely more heavily on their promising group of rookie receivers; particularly Christian Watson, who is projected to score 8.5 fantasy points against the Rams tonight.
