Romeo Doubs, the Green Bay Packers wide receiver, will miss the upcoming Thursday night game against the Detroit Lions due to a concussion. Although he was limited in practice this week, he has not yet cleared the concussion protocol. His absence is expected to provide increased playing time for teammates Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks. The Lions have shown to be a challenging matchup for wide receivers recently, ranking as the 12th-toughest defense against the position over the last five weeks.
- Doubs is out for Week 14 but expected to return for Week 15.
- Watson and Wicks will benefit from increased targets in Doubs' absence.
