GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers receiver Sammy Watkins had a big first day of joint practices against the New Orleans Saints. That was encouraging. More encouraging is how Watkins has strung together a bunch of strong days.
“Sammy has been a different player,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Wednesday. “He’s been super-reliable and every practice made a bunch of plays. Today he had a bunch of plays again.”
That’s been the target for Watkins as he attempts to resurrect his career. Last year with Baltimore, Watkins had 257 yards during the first four games and 137 yards the rest of the season.
