Former Bills WR Sammy Watkins is picked up by Ravens

Sammy Watkins has a new home.

On Monday, the former first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills from 2014 was released by the Green Bay Packers.

According to Packers Wire, younger wideouts on Green Bay’s roster getting healthy was a reason for Watkins’ release.

Due to the nature of his status, Watkins was subject to waivers. He was claimed.

On Tuesday, the Baltimore Ravens announced that they picked up the 29-year-old. Their reasoning was also injury related.

Earlier this same day, the Ravens placed starting receiver Devin Duvernay on injured reserve according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
