The Green Bay Packers finished Sunday’s wild-card loss without wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed after the talented tandem suffered injuries in the third quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Doubs exited the contest to be evaluated for a concussion after appearing to land hard on the back of his head following a jump ball in the end zone. Trainers tended to Doubs during a lengthy stoppage while players gathered around him. Doubs eventually walked off the field and to the locker room with two trainers assisting him. The receiver has sported a Guardian Cap — the soft-shell helmet covers intended to help reduce head injuries — since returning in Week 15 from a head injury he sustained in Week 12.
Just over a month ago, Doubs missed two games after being diagnosed with a concussion in a win over the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 24. The third-year pro recorded 46 catches for 601 yards and four touchdowns during the 2024 regular season, and added two catches for 13 yards prior to exiting against the Eagles.
Reed later exited with a shoulder injury on the drive after Doubs went down and was quickly deemed questionable to return. He recorded four catches for 46 yards in the loss to finish the year with 55 catches, 903 yards and six TDs.
To make matters worse for Green Bay’s ailing offense, guard Elgton Jenkins left the game early in the first half following a big hit to his right shoulder from Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith, and center Josh Myers later left in the fourth with a lower body injury.
The growing list of injuries worsened an already concerning situation for offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich’s unit going into the offseason on the heels of losing receiver Christian Watson to a torn ACL in Week 18.
