GREEN BAY, Wis. Sammy Watkins signed with the Green Bay Packers in hopes of staying healthy and penning the next chapter of his career.Instead, it was the same old story. Watkins made it through only two games.After a big game against the Chicago Bears in Week 2, Watkins injured a hamstring at practice. Watkins landed on injured reserve, marking the fourth time in five years the former No. 4 overall pick mi sed at least four games.Very (disappointing), Watkins said after returning to practice on Wednesday, Milwaukee Brewers Custom Jersey because I had a great camp and then had a great game and then to have that, it was like, Man, dang. I thought it was all going well. But Ive been there before.I think its part of the journey. When adversity strikes, I think God sets you up for something better later. It made me focus back on my body and being in tune with myself, and I handled it well. This is the fastest I ever recovered from a hamstring injury, three weeks, so thats a great feeling. So, mentally, Im good and I just cant wait to go back out there, blocking, catching balls and doing whatever I can to help the team.The Packers cant wait, either. The last time Watkins played, he caught three pa ses for ****** yards and helped fuel the best rushing attack of the season. Without Watkins, the Packers lost the last two games, scoring a dismal ****** points in a home lo s to the Jets on Sunday.Before practice, for Sundays game at the Washington Commanders. That, however, is Watkins plan.I felt great. Im preparing to play, he said. Thats my goal. After that, the coach is going to evaluate me, the trainers, if they give me the OK to play, how many snaps they allow me to play. If they dont, I might be upset but, at the same time, I know they know what theyre doing, and Im pretty sure theyre looking at the bigger picture, but Im preparing to play.For some players coming back from injuries, such as running back Kylin Hill, the three-week window to return to the roster is the equivalent of training camp and a time to gain confidence that the injury has healed. For Watkins, most of that proce s already happened. He said he cut it loose last Corey Knebel Jersey week, so this week isnt about making sure the hamstring is fit to play in a game.I know I can pretty much move. Im not really worried about running full speed, Watkins said. I think its just the mentality, the mindset, getting back in the groove of catch and run, making a move. I think thats critical. And the going and getting hit, getting that block, and how long can I do those things. Ive got to get in shape, and thats what Im doing this week: pushing myself to where Ive got to make sure I can play. I dont want to have a doubt to where oh, this and that. Ive got to go, make sure nothings going to happen or Im going to go out there and have it happen again.For Watkins, it cant happen again. When he signed in free agency, the goal was a win-win relationship. Watkins was the first receiver selected in ****** and had his lone 1, ****** yard season in ****** . Since then, Green Bay is his fourth team. He hasnt finished with ****** yards, let alone 1,000. So, the ****** year-old needed a big season to show he was a viable performer. The Packers, of course, needed Watkins to pick up at least some of the slack created by the offseason trade of Davante Adams.Instead, Watkins was hurt. Again. Over the last six-plus seasons, hes mi sed ****** of a po sible ****** games. Meanwhile, the Packers have sputtered on offense, entering this week ranked 24th in scoring.Watkins showed he could be an impact player vs. Chicago. The key is to do it this week, next week, the week after that and so on.When things like that happen, its out of your control, Watkins said. Very upset but, at the same time, I always think like, man, its part of the journey. Good things happen when you go and have adversity, so my job is Milwaukee Brewers Jersey to come back stronger, healthier and try to will my way to stay healthy through the rest of the season and come back and make the plays that Im used to making.Scroll to ContinueThe Green Bay Packers will face the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field on Sunday. Here are six quick-hitting notes to get you ready. In CommandThe Packers could use this blast from the past: In seven career starts against Washington, including the ****** playoffs, Aaron Rodgers has thrown ****** touchdown pa ses vs. one interception, good for a ****** .0 pa ser rating. Under Pre surePowered by their three first-round picks on the defensive line, the Commanders are fourth in sack rate ****** .0 percent) while the Packers are fifth (9.27).

Green Bay is in the middle of the pack but has allowed the second-most sacks ****** on third down. Speaking of Third DownThese are two of the best third-down defenses in the NFL. The Packers are first in the league with a conversion rate allowed of 26.6 percent while the Commanders are third at 31.7 percent. Those powerful pa s rushes are a big reason. The reason why these defenses arent even close to ranking in the top ****** in points allowed is first down. The Packers rank 24th with 5.92 yards allowed per play on first down while the Commanders are 31st with 7.02 yards. That sums up how the Packers allowed just 1-of ****** on third down vs. the Jets but gave up ****** points on defense, anyway. Backup PlanUsually, its good news to go against a backup quarterback.
