Sammy Watkins is apparently set to rejoin the Baltimore Ravens.

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Ravens have claimed the 29-year-old wide receiver off of waivers from the Green Bay Packers. In a subsequent move, WR Devin Duvernay was placed on the injured reserve.

Watkins, who played with the Ravens last season, had 13 catches for 206 yards and zero touchdowns with the Packers this year. He was released Monday prior to Green Bay’s 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Drafted fourth overall by the Buffalo Bills in 2014, Watkins won the Super Bowl in 2020 with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay was placed on the injured reserve after injuring his foot in practice on Tuesday. Pelissero reported that he would be ruled out for the remainder of the regular season and potentially the first week of the playoffs.

Baltimore (9-5) is second in the AFC North Division and is coming off a 13-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens host the Atlanta Falcons (5-9) on Saturday.
