The injury bug has taken a big bite out of the Green Bay Packers in recent weeks.
It’s claimed Christian Watson and Jordan Love, though the latter was still able to suit up on Sunday in the wild card game against the Eagles. It then came for guard Elgton Jenkins and now receiver Romeo Doubs.
The receiver has dealt with concussion concerns this season and took a big hit that left him on the ground in the end zone.
Here’s the latest on Doubs.

Romeo Doubs injury update
Doubs is being evaluated for a concussion. He was helped off the field in the third quarter after his head hit the turf in the end zone.
Doubs missed Weeks 13 and 14 with a concussion, returning in Week 15 with a new look: He started donning the guardian cap as added protection following the head injury.
What is the NFL’s concussion protocol?
The NFL’s concussion protocol is a five-step process that each player diagnosed with a concussion must clear before he can return to gameday action.
Here are the five steps, per the NFL:
Symptom limited activity
Aerobic exercise
Football specific exercise
Club-based non-contact training drills
Full football activity/clearance

Romeo Doubs stats
Doubs totaled 13 yards, hauling in both targets before being forced out of action on Sunday. The receiver was considered someone that would step up in the absence of Watson, but struggled like most of the Packers’ pass-catchers.
He only appeared in 13 games during the regular season, posting 46 catches, 601 yards and four touchdowns. Doubs is set to enter the final year of his four-year rookie contract next season.
