GREEN BAY — The Packers have listed receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness), tight end Marcedes Lewis (groin) and tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) as questionable for Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.
Receiver Allen Lazard (ankle), defensive lineman Kenny Clark (groin), offense lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee) and kicker Mason Crosby (illness) were not given game status and are expected to play. It will be Crosby’s 244th straight game.
Receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is out after not training since Wednesday.
Lazard and Lewis returned to practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday. Bakhtiari was a limited competitor for the second straight day. Cobb didn’t train this week.
With Watkins out and two other receivers in question, head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters ahead of Friday’s practice that fourth-round rookie Romeo Doubs “will probably have to carry more of a load this week.”
Doubs has six catches for 64 yards on 60 offensive snaps this season but said Thursday he’s ready to play up this Sunday if called upon to do so.
“I would be very happy with that,” said Doubs. “I just want to do my best to help the team win this week so whatever happens happens. I’m in control of my own destiny and will make sure I prepare as best I can and do my part in that ability.”
The Buccaneers ruled out receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot), while left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) and tight end Cade Otton (personal) are doubtful. Smith did not train on Friday after returning to training on Thursday.
Four Buccaneers were listed as questionable: Running back: Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and receiver Julio Jones (knee) Receivers Breshad Perriman (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring)
Tampa Bay has not reported game status for the following players, all of whom are expected to be available: quarterback Tom Brady (right finger), linebacker Lavante David (rest), cornerback Carlton Davis (hip), receiver Scotty Miller (calf), cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and center Robert Hainsey (knee).
