The Green Bay Packers faced the Philadelphia Eagles without Matthew Golden, but their wide receiver troubles didn’t end there. During the game, the Packers endured another scare when their leading wide receiver, Romeo Doubs, suffered a chest injury in the second half. He was subsequently ruled questionable for the remainder of the night.
Doubs entered Lambeau Field as the Packers’ top wide receiver in both receptions and yards, stepping up as the new primary target for quarterback Jordan Love. However, Green Bay’s offense struggled throughout the game against the defending Super Bowl champions. Both teams were held scoreless at halftime, and at one point, the Packers managed just 50 total yards—one of which was a single passing yard from Love.
### How Romeo Doubs Fared Before His Injury
Did Doubs play a significant role in Green Bay’s late offensive efforts before leaving the game? Unfortunately, the young wide receiver had limited impact, recording just one catch for five yards. Dontayvion Wicks stepped up in the lead receiver role, catching four passes for 38 yards into the fourth quarter. Running back Josh Jacobs led all eligible receivers with five catches for 33 yards.
Christian Watson also made a notable contribution, hauling in one of the best receptions of the game—a 20-yard catch. Despite this, the Packers struggled to capitalize against a secondary that briefly lost key cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, who left the game momentarily after landing awkwardly while covering Watson. Mitchell managed to return and recorded two tackles before the game ended.
### Offensive Struggles Continue
With under two minutes left in the game, neither the Eagles nor the Packers managed to reach 300 yards of offense. The injury to Romeo Doubs adds a new concern for the “Cheeseheads,” as he joins the growing list of key Packers wide receivers dealing with injuries.
As the season progresses, Green Bay will need to find ways to overcome these setbacks and maintain offensive production without some of their top receiving options.
