The Inexperienced Bay Packers made the “tough resolution” to droop broad receiver Romeo Doubs for Sunday’s Week 5 sport towards the Los Angeles Rams.
In a press release asserting the transfer on the Packers’ web site Saturday, normal supervisor Brian Gutekunst mentioned the staff was “disenchanted” it needed to resort to the intense motion.
“Sadly, we needed to make the tough resolution to droop Romeo for this week’s sport,” Gutekunst mentioned. “His choices and actions in the course of the week negatively impacted the staff and required us to take this motion. Whereas we’re definitely disenchanted, we’re assured that we will transfer ahead in a constructive method. Romeo is a invaluable member of our staff and we stay up for welcoming him again subsequent week.”
Gutekunst’s didn’t point out what particular infractions warranted Doubs’ suspension, however reviews emerged earlier within the week that the third-year receiver skipped a number of practices, pissed off along with his lack of involvement in Inexperienced Bay’s offense.
Doubs had a breakout season in 2023, logging 674 yards and eight touchdowns. He is been focused 20 occasions for 169 yards in 4 video games to date this yr — that is good for second on the staff.
Granted, beginning quarterback Jordan Love was out injured for 2 of these video games — he accounts for 15 of these targets to Doubs.
NFL Community’s Ian Rapoport confirmed in a submit on X minutes after the suspension was introduced that “issues have moved in a constructive route” and Doubs will return to the staff subsequent week, like Gutekunst mentioned.
Within the meantime, Love must make the most of the remainder of his receiver room towards Los Angeles, one that features Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed. The three have mixed for 520 yards and 6 touchdowns this season.
