GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The Green Bay Packers hope one of their top receivers will return to practice this week after skipping practice last Thursday and Friday over the lack of targets he’s been receiving in games.
According to head coach Matt LaFleur, who spoke about the matter after the team’s 24-19 win over the Rams in Los Angeles, LaFleur is “looking forward to our conversation tomorrow. I fully anticipate him (Doubs) coming back and am hopeful he will come back and be ready to work.”
Teams did contact the Packers to ask about Doubs’ trade availability this week, but were turned down, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
With Doubs and Christian Watson out, the Packers had to look for production from other receivers in order to get the win, which included tight Tucker Kraft having four receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns as well as Jayden Reed catching four passes for 78 yards on the day.
For Doubs to rejoin the team, he must be activated back to the 53-man roster from his current reserve/suspended status, and on Sunday, the Packers will host the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field.
