With Watkins, Watson Injured, Packers Sign Another USFL Receiver

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers signed receiver Ishmael Hyman on Wednesday following the first practice of training camp.

With Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson sidelined by injuries, the Packers are giving a look to a receiver whose NFL resume includes two receptions for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019.

Hyman played for the Michigan Panthers of the USFL, joining tight end Sal Cannella and receiver Osirus Mitchell as USFL players to join the Packers in recent days.

In just four games with Michigan, he caught 15 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns.
