The Inexperienced Bay Packers made the “troublesome resolution” to droop broad receiver Romeo Doubs for Sunday’s Week 5 recreation in opposition to the Los Angeles Rams.
In a statement announcing the move on the Packers’ web site Saturday, common supervisor Brian Gutekunst stated the group was “disenchanted” it needed to resort to the intense motion.
“Sadly, we needed to make the troublesome resolution to droop Romeo for this week’s recreation,” Gutekunst stated. “His selections and actions in the course of the week negatively impacted the group and required us to take this motion. Whereas we’re actually disenchanted, we’re assured that we will transfer ahead in a constructive method. Romeo is a priceless member of our group and we stay up for welcoming him again subsequent week.”
Gutekunst’s didn’t point out what particular infractions warranted Doubs’ suspension, however reports emerged earlier in the week that the third-year receiver skipped a number of practices, annoyed together 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 thus far this 12 months — that is good for second on the group.
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 post on X minutes after the suspension was introduced that “issues have moved in a constructive path” and Doubs will return to the group subsequent week, like Gutekunst stated.
Within the meantime, Love should make the most of the remainder of his receiver room in opposition to Los Angeles, one that features Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden Reed. The three have mixed for 520 yards and 6 touchdowns this season.
