Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs won’t play in Saturday’s preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks because of a new hamstring injury, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
It’s unclear when the injury happened or the severity of the issue, although coach Matt LaFleur could provide an update post-game on Saturday.
UPDATE: LaFleur said “there’s always concern” when dealing with injuries but he also thought Doubs’ absence on Saturday was more “precautionary.”
Doubs, a second-year receiver, is one of 14 players sitting during the preseason finale against the Seahawks.
Doubs had a terrific two-game stretch to start the preseason and is locked in as one of the Packers starting receivers. His injury status will be a headline as the Packers prepare for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.
Doubs caught 42 passes for 425 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie in 2022.
Rookie receiver Dontayvion Wicks is also sitting out the preseason finale.
Christian Watson, Samori Toure, rookie Jayden Reed and rookie Malik Heath will be the top receivers available for Jordan Love and the Packers on Saturday.
