Doubs (personal) isn't at practice Friday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Doubs remains away from the team for a personal matter, missing a second straight practice. Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he was hopeful to have Doubs back with the team before Sunday but wasn't yet sure if that would happen. If not, Bo Melton could take on a significant role, as the Packers already have Dontayvion Wicks set to fill in for Christian Watson (ankle).

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Away Thursday for personal matter
Rotowire
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Doubs didn't practice Thursday due to a "personal reason," Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
LaFleur said that while he hopes Doubs will be back with the team for their final practice of the week Friday, the coach acknowledged that the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Rams is uncertain for the moment. If Doubs rejoins the Packers and suits up Sunday, he could be in store for a slight uptick in snaps with fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) trending toward sitting out against the Rams. After Watson was limited to just nine snaps in this past Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings due to the injury, Doubs drew a season-high eight targets, finishing the day with four catches for 39 yards.

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.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Records 50 yards in Week 1 loss
Rotowire
Doubs caught four of seven targets for 50 yards in Friday's loss against the Eagles.
Doubs' biggest gain came on the Packers' third offensive play of the game, when he registered a 19-yard reception. The third-year wideout was pretty quiet thereafter, though he did lead Green Bay with seven targets and finished second with 50 receiving yards. Quarterback Jordan Love spread the ball around pretty evenly between Doubs, Jayden Reed (six targets) and Christian Watson (five targets), but Doubs was the only one of the trio not to catch a touchdown in the season-opening loss. Doubs figures to remain substantially involved in the team's offense Week 2 versus the Colts, though the Packers' potential for success in the passing game could hinge on the health of Love, who left the game in the waning seconds of the final period with an apparent leg injury.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Clear for Week 1
Rotowire
Doubs (hand) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game against the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Doubs surprisingly was included on Green Bay's first Week 1 injury report with a hand issue, which capped his reps at Tuesday's practice and led to an estimated limited listing Wednesday. Having said that, he logged a full session to end the week and thus is ready for the team's season opener. Doubs is coming off a 59-674-8 line on 96 targets in 17 regular-season games in his second campaign as a pro in 2023.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Estimated as limited participant
Rotowire
Green Bay estimated Doubs (hand) as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report.
The Packers are traveling to Brazil on Wednesday and aren't holding a formal practice, but Doubs would have maintained his activity level from Tuesday if the team had gotten on the field. Doubs is considered day-to-day with a hand contusion, but at this stage, the injury doesn't look to be a serious threat to his availability for Friday's game against the Eagles in Sao Paulo.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Limited with hand injury
Rotowire
Doubs (hand) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Doubs said he's dealing with a hand contusion and that his recovery is a "day-to-day process," per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. It sounds like an issue Doubs will be able to play through during Friday's regular-season opener against the Eagles in Brazil, but it's possible it could impact the third-year wideout's ability to make difficult catches. As such, it will be worth monitoring what Doubs is able to do during practice over the next two days.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Looking sharp at camp
Rotowire
Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said Monday that Doubs has "super strong hands" and is "pretty tremendous" at running routes, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
Doubs hype is reaching a crescendo in the second week of training camp, with a slew of Packers beat writers reporting that the wideout has been one of the team's standout performers. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander poured fuel on the fire Tuesday when he said Doubs is his second-favorite receiver in the league (after former teammate Davante Adams) and acknowledged that the 24-year-old often wins their one-on-one battles in practice, per Paul Bretl of 105.5 ESPN La Crosse. Quarterback Jordan Love has also expressed confidence this summer in Doubs, who had 234 yards in two playoff games this past January after finishing the regular season with 674 receiving yards. The enthusiasm is encouraging, but Doubs will still face stout target and snap competition from fellow young wideouts Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Another strong playoff performance
Rotowire
Doubs recorded four receptions on six targets for 83 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
As has been the case all season, targets were spread evenly between multiple Packers pass catchers. Doubs finished tied for the team lead with six opportunities, and he was by far the most efficient with his chances thanks to long gains of 38, 22 and 15 yards. After it previously appeared that he slipped behind Jayden Reed as the top pass catcher on the team, Doubs combined to record 234 yards across two playoff contests. His ability to consistently command targets will remain an issue in 2024, as Christian Watson, Reed and Dontayvion Wicks will all almost certainly remain on the roster.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Career game in playoff debut
Rotowire
Doubs caught all six of his targets for 151 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 wild-card round win over the Cowboys.
Doubs' season high in receiving yards was 95, but he exceeded that mark in the first half alone with four catches on as many targets for 102 yards. He added a 46-yard catch in the third quarter, then put the cherry on top with a three-yard touchdown catch in the fourth. After setting a career high in receiving yards in his playoff debut and accounting for more than half of Jordan Love's 272 passing yards, Doubs will look to put up an encore performance on the road against the 49ers in the NFC divisional round.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Ready for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Doubs (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card contest at Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Doubs made an early exit from the Packers' Week 18 win over the Bears due to a chest injury, which capped his on-field work Wednesday and Thursday. Having said that, it won't impact his availability for Sunday's playoff opener, something that can't be said for fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable. Even if Watson suits up for the first time since Week 13, Doubs will remain one of Green Bay's top WRs in terms of snap share, as he topped 80 percent in 12 of 17 appearances this season.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Doubs (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Doubs mostly avoided the injury bug this season, unlike most of the rest of the Packers receiving corps, but he made an early exit this past Sunday against the Bears due to a chest issue. On Monday, head coach Matt LaFleur called Doubs "day-to-day," per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, and the receiver's ability to mix into drills at Wednesday's walkthrough seems to back up LaFleur's sentiments. Doubs thus has two more chances this week to get back to full activity before Green Bay potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card game at Dallas.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Coach Matt LaFleur said Doubs (chest) is day-to-day after leaving Sunday's game against the Bears, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs was injured when he was unable to come down with a would-be touchdown grab in the first quarter versus Chicago. The wideout spent part of the game being evaluated at the local hospital but was able to return to the locker room before the end of the contest. Green Bay's wideout depth chart is deep, even with Doubs and Christian Watson (hamstring) banged up. Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath soaked up the receiver work Sunday.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Exits with injury
Rotowire
Doubs is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears due to a chest injury.
Doubs appeared to sustain an injury when he failed to haul in a would-be touchdown pass during the first quarter, as he was seen moving into the medical tent after the drive, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Coming into Sunday's action, the second-year wideout led the Packers with eight touchdown catches this season to go along with career highs in both receptions (59) and yards (674). With Christian Watson (hamstring) already inactive, expect reserves Bo Melton and Malik Heath to see increased playing time behind Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Reaches end zone in win
Rotowire
Doubs was targeted five times and caught four passes for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.
Doubs averaged just 42.8 yards per game and did not score over the four contests that preceded Sunday's, but with Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe/chest) sitting out Sunday and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) exiting early, Doubs saw extra opportunities and capitalized. His prospects for Week 16 will hinge significantly on the availability -- or the lack thereof -- of his three fellow wideouts.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Quiet night in loss
Rotowire
Doubs secured four of seven targets for 32 yards in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night.
Doubs finished second in receiving yards on the night for Green Bay, but he still had only half the total of tight end Tucker Kraft. It also marked Doubs' fourth sub-40-yard tally in the last six games, and Monday night was his third straight contest without a touchdown. Consequently, even if Christian Watson (hamstring) remains sidelined for a Week 15 home date with the Buccaneers, Doubs' outlook isn't overly optimistic.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Leads GB in receiving yards
Rotowire
Doubs had four receptions on five targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs.
Doubs wound up leading the Packers in receiving yards, but it was Christian Watson (hamstring) who cashed in two scores for the superior fantasy score. The latter suffered an injury to his hamstring late in Sunday's victory, so Doubs could be in store for an uptick in targets should the Packers' No. 1 wideout miss next Monday's matchup against the Giants. Even if Watson's injury proves to be minor, Doubs has solidified his No. 2 role by averaging five targets over the last four weeks.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Three grabs against Detroit
Rotowire
Doubs caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Thursday's 29-22 win over the Lions.
The second-year wideout took a back seat to Christian Watson (5-94-1 on seven targets) and Jayden Reed (4-34-1 on eight targets) in this one, but Doubs had a key 14-yard grab in the third quarter to help set up Watson's score. Doubs has caught at least three passes in five straight games, and while he has only 175 receiving yards over that stretch he's scored three TDs of his own. The Packers' trio of young WRs will likely keep taking turns coming up big as they develop alongside first-year starting QB Jordan Love, but the team's whole passing game faces a daunting challenge in Week 13 against Kansas City's secondary.
