Doubs is officially listed as doubtful versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Prior to Christian Watson’s ankle injury on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers  were heavily rotating Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks in their receiver unit. According to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, at least one of those pass-catchers, Doubs, is unhappy about the split snaps .


Huber stated in his recent article that Doubs, who has been a non-participant in the Packers’ last two practices of the week leading up to their game against the Los Angeles Rams  this Sunday, was actually found at his residence by “team representatives” when he didn’t show up for Thursday practice. On Friday, head coach Matt LaFleur that the team is going to take Doubs’ situation, which up to this point was simply called a personal matter, “day by day.” Mind you, LaFleur said he was hoping that Doubs would be ready to practice on Friday after Doubs’ Thursday absence.


Officially, the Packers have listed Doubs, along with Watson, as doubtful for Sunday’s action . If the team is down both receivers, Green Bay will be left with Reed, Wicks, Malik Heath and Bo Melton at the position on the 53-man roster, though, they also have three practice squad options at receiver for a gameday elevation. If Doubs isn’t going to play on Sunday, we’ll probably have an inkling of it by Saturday afternoon, when the Packers have to declare their elevations for the week.


According to NFL Pro , Doubs leads the team with 115 routes ran in 2024, including two games with backup quarterback Malik Willis, but he ranks behind slot receiver Jayden Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft in receptions. Currently, Reed is the most productive slot receiver in the NFL .


From a yards-per-route run perspective, Doubs is averaging 1.38 yards per route, Reed is at 3.5, Wicks is at 1.3 and Watson is at 1.53. Aside from Reed’s standout production, Doubs is producing around the same clip per play as Wicks and Watson this season. With 19 targets under his belt, Doubs ranks third on the Packers in that metric in 2024. League-wide, 19 targets is good for a tie for the 67th player in the NFL through four weeks, but that includes two games where Willis threw 33 times combined over those starts.


When Jordan Love has been on the field, and he currently is, Doubs has been far from a decoy. For perspective, Reed and Wicks lead the Packers with 22 targets, just three more than Doubs in 2024.


Green Bay’s gameplan versus the Rams may involve a heavy helping of Wicks, who has an abnormally high amount of targets for the number of routes since he joined the Packers. If Doubs is frustrated, as Huber reporter, it could be about his post-Watson role with the team rather than the one he’s played up to this point this season.

From Ian Rapoport → The Packers have suspended WR Romeo Doubs, who missed two practices this past week, for their game against the #Rams.

But after a frustrating week, there’s an expectation things have moved in a positive direction and he will rejoin the team next week.

While we are certainly disappointed, we are confident that we will be able to move forward in a positive manner. Romeo is a valuable member of our team and we look forward to welcoming him back next week."
