Larger role for Packers WR Samori Toure likely coming against physical Bucs’ secondary

With Christian Watson out, Green Bay Packers’ second-year wide receiver Samori Toure saw more playing time against the New York Giants and may be called upon once again this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“It felt good being out there,” said Toure Thursday at his locker. “Definitely lost a little sleep over those plays just inches away, but I was happy to be out there.”

Toure couldn’t make a diving catch along the boundary of the end zone on an off-schedule play and had a potential touchdown knocked away at the last second a little while later in the second of the Packers’ 24-22 loss to the Giants.
