The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Sammy Watkins off of injured reserve on Saturday, likely clearing his way to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
Watkins missed the last four games with a hamstring injury. The Packers designated him for return on Wednesday and had him practice all three days this week. On Friday, coach Matt LaFleur said Watkins’ status was “up in the air” for Sunday, but his activation on Saturday should mean he’s available for the Packers offense against the Commanders.
