The Green Bay Packers receiving corps looked much better in Week 2 than it did in Week 1. But they’ll be shorthanded once again in Week 3, according to the final injury report released Friday.

Sammy Watkins will miss the Packers’ matchup against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing Thursday and Friday, therefore ruling him out for the game. In addition, Randall Cobb and Christian Watson are both questionable after they didn’t practice Thursday or Friday.

However, Allen Lazard will be a full go after shedding his injury designation.

Aaron Rodgers and Co. will try to get over .500 against Tampa Bay Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. Here’s the Packers’ full final injury report:

Packers final injury report vs Tampa Bay

Out — WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring)

Watkins started the week limited before missing back-to-back practices and, therefore, missing Sundays’ game with his hamstring injury. He had three receptions for 93 yards last week against the Chicago Bears and leads the Packers in receiving yards through two games.

Questionable — OL David Bakhtiari (knee), WR Randall Cobb (illness), TE Marcedes Lewis (groin), WR Christian Watson (hamstring)

Bakhtiari, still recovering from a knee injury, was a limited participant on Friday for the second straight day and will be questionable for the matchup with Tampa Bay. If he’s able to play, it’ll be just his second game since tearing his ACL at the end of the 2020 season.

Cobb didn’t practice all week as he dealt with an illness and also remains questionable. He also had a solid showing against Chicago, hauling in three receptions for 37 yards. Watson — the rookie out of North Dakota State — will also be questionable after totaling just nine receiving yards last week.

Lewis has yet to register a stat this year and was limited Friday after missing Thursday’s practice. If he can go, that’d be another boost for the Green Bay offense that’s dealing with plenty of other injuries.
