Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs wasn’t on the practice field on Thursday due to a personal reason and will be day to day ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
Coach Matt LaFleur said he was hopeful Doubs would be back for Friday’s practice.
“Yeah, I would hope so,” LaFleur said Thursday. “We’ll take it one day at a time.”
Doubs has played 224 offensive snaps, the most among Packers receivers so far in 2024.
Through four games, Doubs has caught 12 of 20 targets for 169 yards. He’s averaging a career high 14.1 yards per catch and 8.5 yards per target but hasn’t yet caught a touchdown pass after hauling in eight last season. Nine of his 12 catches have gained first downs.
The Packers were also without receiver Christian Watson, who is recovering from an ankle injury suffered Sunday against the Vikings. Watson has missed back-to-back practices and isn’t expected to play against the Rams.
If Doubs and Watson are unavailable on Sunday, the Packers would have Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath as the four receivers on the 53-man roster. Julian Hicks, Cornelius Johnson and TJ Luther are available for elevation from the practice squad if necessary.
