It’s possible that veteran help might be on the way for the Green Bay Packers at wide receiver after all. The Packers are reportedly hosting a free agent wide receiver for a visit today, welcoming Sammy Watkins into the facility.

NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo reported the visit, which was also noted on the r/GreenBayPackers subreddit on Wednesday.

Watkins, who was the 4th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, has bounced around to four teams in his eight-year NFL career. He started out with Buffalo, where he posted 982 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie before notching career highs with 1,047 yards and nine scores in his second year.
