(Green Bay) The Green Bay Packers have placed wide receiver Sammy Watkins on the disabled list, which means he will miss at least the next four games.
Posted at 2:45 p.m.
The Packers (1-1) announced their decision on Saturday, on the eve of their duel against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0). They had already dropped Watkins from their starting lineup against Tom Brady and his gang on Friday with a hamstring injury.
Watkins has caught six passes for 111 yards in two games this season. He had three catches for 93 yards last Sunday night in a 27-10 win over the Chicago Bears.
The Packers’ wide wingers have been particularly banged up lately.
The presences of Randall Cobb (virus), Christian Watson (hamstrings) and tight end Marcedes Lewis (groin) are uncertain for Sunday’s game. Cobb and Watson did not practice on Friday, while Lewis was limited in his drills.
