Romeo Doubs Is Back to Business

NFL

After missing the game at SoFi Stadium, Romeo Doubs is ready to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. The Packers suspended him for one game last week due to his absence from two days of practices and meetings. His no-shows forced the team to bench him for the matchup against the Rams. Doubs has since returned to practice and is expected to play a key role in stretching the field for the Packers' offense.

While Doubs did not excuse his absences, he explained that they were related to personal issues outside of football. He acknowledged that his communication with the organization could have been better and expressed his commitment to improving it moving forward. The allegations of him being a diva have quickly been debunked, as he is human like the rest of us, trying to balance personal and professional demands. This situation serves as a reminder not to judge athletes before hearing the full story, especially when their prior character shows no indication of such behavior.

Last regular season, Doubs recorded 59 receptions for 674 yards and eight touchdowns, proving his value to the team. He continued to shine in the postseason, catching 10 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games. His impact on the offense is undeniable. Although this season has had a slow start, with no touchdowns and just 169 yards over four games, he plans to show up and show out against the Cardinals.

Lambeau Field is expected to see some rain, which should make Doubs’ reliable hands especially valuable this Sunday. With Christian Watson listed as questionable, Doubs may receive even more targets. As the NFC North division heats up, both Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs will need to find their rhythm quickly. Doubs is set to play a key role in the NFC showdown against the Cardinals this Sunday.
