Romeo Doubs has began all 4 video games this season and has performed essentially the most snaps of any extensive receiver on the Packers, however that’s apparently not sufficient to fulfill him along with his position within the offense.
Doubs has missed the final two practices with what the crew known as private causes, and he’s listed as uncertain for Sunday’s sport. In keeping with Invoice Huber of SI.com, that’s as a result of is upset along with his alternatives within the passing sport.
Doubs has been focused 20 instances this season, which is barely much less on a per-game foundation than he was getting final season, however that’s simply defined by the truth that beginning quarterback Jordan Love has been injured and the Packers needed to change their offense to accommodate the newly arrived quarterback Malik Willis, who hadn’t been with the crew lengthy sufficient to know the complete playbook. Within the two video games Love performed, Doubs has seven targets in Week One and eight targets in Week 4, averaging extra targets per sport than he was averaging from Love final season.
And if Doubs needed the ball extra, he was prone to get it on Sunday in opposition to the Rams as a result of fellow beginning extensive receiver Christian Watson is uncertain with an ankle damage. It’s doable that after Watson left final week’s sport in opposition to the Vikings with the damage, Doubs didn’t like how he was used when Love began throwing to receiver Dontayvion Wicks extra, however skipping observe will not be a productive approach to deal with it.
Regardless, it seems that the Packers have an issue on their fingers, and that Doubs will probably be at house whereas his shorthanded crew is attempting to beat the Rams with out him.
