Packers' Romeo Doubs: Practices fully, but still in protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Doubs practiced fully Wednesday, but the wide receiver remains in the concussion protocol, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Doubs has made slow but steady progress since suffering a head injury Week 12 against the 49ers, failing to practice at all during Week 13 prep before being limited in practice last week in advance of another absence Week 14 at Detroit. Considering he was listed as a full participant Wednesday, he likely is in the final phase of the concussion protocol, which requires an evaluation from an independent neurologist in order to be able to suit up again. Doubs should receive clearance in the coming days ahead of Sunday's visit to Seattle.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Won't return Thursday
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game in Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Doubs wasn't able to log anything more than limited practice participation during Week 14 prep, indicating he has yet to reach the phase in which he would be evaluated by an independent neurologist before exiting concussion protocol. He'll thus miss his second game in a row following the concussion that he sustained during a Week 12 win against the 49ers. Dontayvion Wicks will be the primary option to step into three-receiver sets alongside Jayden Reed and Christian Watson on Thursday, while Bo Melton and Malik Heath will be on hand as depth.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Remains limited in practice
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
After sitting out the Packers' Thanksgiving Day win over the Dolphins, Doubs has kicked off Week 14 prep with a pair of limited practices. According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Tuesday that Doubs is still following the five-step concussion protocol. The wideout may need to put in a full practice Wednesday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to have a shot at playing Thursday in Detroit.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Officially limited Monday
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) was a limited practice participant Monday.
After sustaining a concussion against the 49ers in Week 12, Doubs didn't practice at all last week and eventually was ruled out ahead of last Thursday's game versus the Dolphins. He then was on the field in full uniform Sunday and followed it up with an official limited session to begin Week 14 prep. Clearly, Doubs has made some progress through the protocol for head injuries, but it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared by an independent neurologist before this Thursday's contest at Detroit.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Practices on Monday
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) was spotted participating in Monday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Doubs also practiced Sunday, as the Packers have been back on the field following their win over the Dolphins on Thanksgiving Night. He missed that contest but appears to be working his way through concussion protocol. He seems to have a chance at returning for Thursday night's NFC North date with the Lions.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Takes part in practice Sunday
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) was spotted in full uniform taking part in the Packers' practice session Sunday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
While the Packers won't have to reveal their first Week 14 injury report until Monday, Doubs' presence on the field for an unofficial practice suggests he's made some progress through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. After suffering the head injury last Sunday in the Packers' Week 12 win over the 49ers, Doubs didn't practice in any fashion this past week before he was inactive for Green Bay's 30-17 victory over Miami on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to advancing to full practice participation, Doubs will also need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting the protocol and putting himself on track to play in the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Lions this coming Thursday.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Not playing Thursday
Rotowire
Doubs (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Doubs suffered a concussion in the middle of the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the 49ers when he drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone. He then was listed as a non-participant on all three practice estimates of Week 13 prep and thus won't be available Thursday. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath will be the candidates to see extra reps in three-wideout sets alongside Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. Meanwhile, Doubs' next chance for game action will come Dec. 5 at Detroit in another Thursday game.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Sits out practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Doubs (concussion) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Doubs remains in NFL's five-step concussion protocol and hasn't seemingly taken any steps forward in his recovery from the brain injury he sustained in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers. With just one more practice this week to prove his health before the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday, Doubs looks to be trending toward missing his second game of the season. The wideout previously sat out a Week 5 win over the Rams due to a team-imposed suspension.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Concussion confirmed Sunday
Rotowire
Doubs won't return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers due to a concussion, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs drew a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in the middle of the third quarter that helped set up Josh Jacobs' (cramps) second TD of the contest, but the wide receiver was slow to get to his feet and eventually the sideline before he was ruled out. Doubs will finish Week 12 with three catches (on six targets) for 54 yards.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Limited to one catch
Rotowire
Doubs secured one of two targets for 17 yards in the Packers' 20-19 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Doubs' catch and receiving yardage totals tied and set a season low, respectively. The 24-year-old wideout has just 45 receiving yards combined over the last two contests, but given how spread out targets can be in Green Bay's offense from game to game, it wouldn't be surprising to see Doubs bounce back despite a tough Week 12 home matchup against the 49ers.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Doubs has scored at least 17.4 PPR points in each of his past two games, and I like him as a borderline starter in all leagues against the Jaguars in Week 8. Jacksonville is No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Doubs just had 10 targets in Week 7 against Houston for eight catches and 94 yards. Jayden Reed is a must-start receiver for the Packers in all leagues, but Doubs is right behind him. Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks are boom or bust receivers, but this is a great matchup to consider all of Green Bay's passing options in Week 8.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Leading receiver in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Doubs caught eight of 10 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.
Doubs has produced two strong performances since being suspended for a game by the Packers, scoring two touchdowns in Week 6 against the Cardinals before leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in the win over Houston. No teammate had more than six targets or 48 receiving yards in Sunday's win, though Doubs wasn't on the receiving end of any of Jordan Love's three touchdown passes. Doubs will look to keep building momentum in Week 8 against the Jaguars.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Like teammate Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs is worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent. He returned from his one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team in Week 5 and had three catches for 49 yards and two touchdowns on four targets against the Cardinals, and he should continue to be a significant factor for Green Bay all season.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Two TDs in return from suspension
Rotowire
Doubs caught three of four targets for 49 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Cardinals.
Doubs scored his first touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter, then added a 20-yard touchdown grab in the third. Back in the Packers' good graces after being suspended by the team for the Week 5 win over the Rams, Doubs will look to build on this performance in a Week 7 home game against the Texans, for which Green Bay may not have depth option Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) in its receiving corps.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Has suspension lifted
Rotowire
Doubs' suspension was lifted by the Packers on Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Doubs missed practice last Thursday and Friday due to a personal matter, and he was suspended for Week 5's contest against the Rams on Saturday. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, a meeting Monday between Doubs and members of the Packers organization went well. Coach Matt LaFleur later told Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site, "I'm not gonna get into the specifics, but I think it was productive, and we look forward to getting him back on Wednesday." Doubs is in line to rejoin his teammates at Wednesday's practice as the Packers prepare for a second straight game without wide receiver Christian Watson, who is tending to a high-ankle sprain.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Suspended for Week 5
Rotowire
The Packers have suspended Doubs for Sunday's game against the Rams due to conduct detrimental to the team, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs did not make the trip to Los Angeles, and his absence in Week 5 will loom larger than normal since the Packers are also expected to be without fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle), who is listed as doubtful. According to Schneidman, Doubs has reportedly had expressed frustration in his role within the offense, despite being tied for the third-most targets and playing 38 more snaps than any Packers wide receiver. General manager Brian Gutekunst suggested that the team is confident that it will be able "to move forward in a positive manner" with Doubs, so for the moment, the expectation is that the 24-year-old will be back in the fold for a Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals. Expect Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton to both take on substantial roles alongside Jayden Reed in the expected absences of Doubs and Watson in Week 5.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Doubtful for Sunday
Rotowire
Doubs (personal) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs missed practice Thursday and Friday, and the Packers apparently consider him a long shot to rejoin the team in time for Sunday's game. With fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) also listed as doubtful and seemingly even more unlikely to play, there's a big opportunity ahead for WRs Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton alongside Jayden Reed.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Records four catches in Week 4
Rotowire
Doubs reeled in four of eight targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.
With Malik Willis starting in place of Jordan Love (knee) the previous two games, Doubs combined for a 4-80-0 line on five targets. On Sunday, game script led Love to put up 54 passes, and Doubs was one of four Packers pass catchers to see at least eight targets. Dontayvion Wicks led the way with 13 (for 5-78-2), while Tucker Kraft (6-53-1 on nine targets) and Jayden Reed (7-139-1 on eight targets) were the other two. Meanwhile, Christian Watson left in the first half with an ankle injury and didn't return. Doubs has yet to reach the end zone through four contests after scoring eight TDs in 2023, and he's recorded just 12 catches for 169 yards on 20 targets to date. His rapport with Love should reap dividends at some point, but so far Doubs' output has been lacking with two different signal-callers directing Green Bay's offense.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Limited to one reception
Rotowire
Doubs was targeted twice and caught one pass for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Doubs had a respectable showing in Week 2 with the Packers leaning on the run game behind backup quarterback Malik Willis, but he could not repeat that performance in similar surroundings Sunday. Starting signal caller Jordan Love (knee) could return in Week 4, which would be a benefit for Doubs and all of Green Bay's pass catchers. Either way, though, the Packers are spreading out the opportunities -- eight receivers or tight ends played at least 11 snaps Sunday -- which makes it tough to trust Doubs on a week-to-week basis.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Leading receiver in win
Rotowire
Doubs brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Doubs tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards, as he was on the other end of Malik Willis' longest pass play of the day (39 yards). Doubs was the only Packers wideout to cross the 50-yard threshold while Willis ran a mostly conservative game plan and Green Bay leaned heavily on Josh Jacobs and its defense. The third-year wideout has produced a 7-112 line on 10 targets over his first two games as a Week 3 road date with the Titans approaches.
