Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters on Friday that WR Sammy Watkins is expected to come off of the non-football injury list and practice with the team, per Matt Schneidman.
Watkins missed the first few days of camp with a hamstring injury.
Watkins, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Bills back in 2014 after they traded up with the Rams to get him. Buffalo would later trade him to the Rams.
Watkins played out the final year of his four-year, $19.935 million rookie contract before agreeing to a three-year, $48 million deal that included $30 million guaranteed with the Chiefs back in 2018.
The Chiefs and Watkins agreed to a new contract that paid him $9 million for the 2020 season. He then signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Ravens last offseason before joining the Packers this past April on another one-year contract.
In 2021, Watkins appeared in 13 games, recording 27 catches on 49 targets for 394 yards and one touchdown.
