Packrs rookie WR Romeo Doubs (ankle) returns to practice

The Packers got rookie WR Romeo Doubs back at practice on Wednesday, putting him in position to return to the field after missing three games.

Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Romeo Doubs is getting closer to a return to the playing field.

Doubs, who suffered a significant ankle injury against the Detroit Lions on Nov. 6, returned to practice on Wednesday and now has a chance to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Doubs was injured on the Packers’ first play on offense during the team’s Week 9 loss to the Lions at Ford Field. His ankle was twisted while being tackled at the end of an 18-yard catch.

Doubs caught 31 passes for 314 yards and three touchdowns before his injury, including a four-catch, 62-yard performance in Buffalo against the Bills in Week 8.

Doubs missed games against the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles.

Getting the fourth-rounder back would provide another boost to a Packers passing game that has recently witnessed Christian Watson’s ascendence (six touchdowns) during Doubs’ three-game absence.

The Packers will provide an official injury report to open Week 13 on Wednesday.
