Watkins (undisclosed) signed to Philadelphia's practice squad Wednesday. Watkins most recently spent time with Arizona, having been cut by the Cardinals with an injury settlement back in August. Now healthy, the 2020 sixth-round pick reunites with the organization that drafted him. Watkins will operate as an emergency depth option on the practice squad.
-
The Cardinals released Watkins (undisclosed) from IR on Sunday with an injury settlement, per the NFL's transaction log. Watkins suffered an undisclosed injury during practice early August and was placed on IR, but he'll now be eligible to sign elsewhere and play during the 2025 season, once fully healthy. He spent time on the Steelers' practice squad last year.
-
The Cardinals placed Watkins (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday. Watkins left practice Friday with an undisclosed injury, and he's now required to miss the entire season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Arizona. The Cardinals signed Nate McCollum in a corresponding move to take Watkins' roster spot as wideout depth.
-
The Steelers released Watkins on Tuesday. It's not a great sign for his career prospects that he couldn't win a roster spot with one of the most WR-needy teams in the league. Watkins spent much of the past four years as Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver, but it was never a high-volume role and he maxed out at 62 targets in 2021.
-
Watkins failed to secure his lone target while rushing once for six yards during Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. Watkins was on the field for 53 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Saturday, but he didn't see many touches during the low-scoring loss. He didn't have any offensive touches during last weekend's preseason opener, and he could have to put together a productive outing during next Saturday's preseason finale against Detroit to bolster his case for a spot on the 53-man roster.
