Packers Activate WR Sammy Watkins, Place Randall Cobb on IR

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will get a veteran weapon back in the fold Sunday when wide receiver Sammy Watkins returns to the Green Bay lineup.

At the same time, Rodgers loses a veteran weapon as wideout Randall Cobb has been placed on injured reserve and will be out a minimum four weeks. The moves were announced Saturday by the team.

It’s a mixed bag of news for the Packers (3–3), who scored only 10 points last week in a loss to the Jets and have yet to top the 30-point mark this season.
