The Sammy Watkins experiment is over.
He was released before the game against the Rams.
The Packers receiver group is expected to be back to full strength with the expected return of Romeo Doubs. The Packers would like to see what the rookies can do together. They have only been on the field together 52 times this year. They are both healthy.
The Packers signed Watkins to a one-year contract with the hope that he could reverse his history of injuries and revive his career. They traded away Davante Adams in March. The former first-round pick was placed on injured reserve after two games.
Watkins had 13 catches for 206 yards and no touchdown.
The news was reported by the network.
