The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Sammy Watkins and cornerback Keisean Nixon on the non-football injury list on Tuesday, according to the league’s daily transaction report.
The non-football injury list is used by teams for players who are injured outside of practices or team-related activities. A player can come off the list at any time once cleared.
Both Watkins and Nixon were acquired by the Packers this offseason. Watkins spent last season with the Baltimore Ravens; Nixon with the Las Vegas Raiders. If healthy, both could play important roles for Matt LaFleur’s team in 2022.
