The Packers have suspended Doubs for Week 5 due to conduct detrimental to the team, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Doubs did not make the trip to Los Angeles, but this added bit of news is eye opening considering the team will likely be without Christian Watson (ankle) for at minimum this week, if not longer. Doubs reportedly had expressed frustration in his role within the offense despite being tied for the third-most targets and playing 38 more snaps than any Packers wide receiver. General manager Brian Gutekunst suggested following the Week 5 suspension the team is confident that they'll be able "to move forward in a positive manner," but it remains to be seen if that sentiment will be shared with Doubs. Expect Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton to each have substantial roles in the absence of Doubs, and likely Watson as well.

Suspended for Week 5
The Packers have suspended Doubs for Week 5 due to conduct detrimental to the team, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Doubs did not make the trip to Los Angeles, but this added bit of news is eye opening considering the team will likely be without Christian Watson (ankle) for at minimum this week, if not longer. Doubs reportedly had expressed frustration in his role within the offense despite being tied for the third-most targets and playing 38 more snaps than any Packers wide receiver. General manager Brian Gutekunst suggested following the Week 5 suspension the team is confident that they'll be able "to move forward in a positive manner," but it remains to be seen if that sentiment will be shared with Doubs. Expect Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton to each have substantial roles in the absence of Doubs, and likely Watson as well.
Doubtful for Sunday
Doubs (personal) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Doubs missed practice Thursday and Friday, and the Packers apparently consider him a long shot to rejoin the team in time for Sunday's game. With fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) also listed as doubtful and seemingly even more unlikely to play, there's a big opportunity ahead for WRs Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton alongside Jayden Reed.
Not at practice
Doubs (personal) isn't at practice Friday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. Doubs remains away from the team for a personal matter, missing a second straight practice. Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that he was hopeful to have Doubs back with the team before Sunday but wasn't yet sure if that would happen. If not, Bo Melton could take on a significant role, as the Packers already have Dontayvion Wicks set to fill in for Christian Watson (ankle).
Away Thursday for personal matter
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that Doubs didn't practice Thursday due to a "personal reason," Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. LaFleur said that while he hopes Doubs will be back with the team for their final practice of the week Friday, the coach acknowledged that the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Rams is uncertain for the moment. If Doubs rejoins the Packers and suits up Sunday, he could be in store for a slight uptick in snaps with fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) trending toward sitting out against the Rams. After Watson was limited to just nine snaps in this past Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings due to the injury, Doubs drew a season-high eight targets, finishing the day with four catches for 39 yards.
Records four catches in Week 4
Doubs reeled in four of eight targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings. With Malik Willis starting in place of Jordan Love (knee) the previous two games, Doubs combined for a 4-80-0 line on five targets. On Sunday, game script led Love to put up 54 passes, and Doubs was one of four Packers pass catchers to see at least eight targets. Dontayvion Wicks led the way with 13 (for 5-78-2), while Tucker Kraft (6-53-1 on nine targets) and Jayden Reed (7-139-1 on eight targets) were the other two. Meanwhile, Christian Watson left in the first half with an ankle injury and didn't return. Doubs has yet to reach the end zone through four contests after scoring eight TDs in 2023, and he's recorded just 12 catches for 169 yards on 20 targets to date. His rapport with Love should reap dividends at some point, but so far Doubs' output has been lacking with two different signal-callers directing Green Bay's offense.
Limited to one reception
Doubs was targeted twice and caught one pass for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans. Doubs had a respectable showing in Week 2 with the Packers leaning on the run game behind backup quarterback Malik Willis, but he could not repeat that performance in similar surroundings Sunday. Starting signal caller Jordan Love (knee) could return in Week 4, which would be a benefit for Doubs and all of Green Bay's pass catchers. Either way, though, the Packers are spreading out the opportunities -- eight receivers or tight ends played at least 11 snaps Sunday -- which makes it tough to trust Doubs on a week-to-week basis.
Leading receiver in win
Doubs brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Packers' 16-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. Doubs tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards, as he was on the other end of Malik Willis' longest pass play of the day (39 yards). Doubs was the only Packers wideout to cross the 50-yard threshold while Willis ran a mostly conservative game plan and Green Bay leaned heavily on Josh Jacobs and its defense. The third-year wideout has produced a 7-112 line on 10 targets over his first two games as a Week 3 road date with the Titans approaches.
Records 50 yards in Week 1 loss
Doubs caught four of seven targets for 50 yards in Friday's loss against the Eagles. Doubs' biggest gain came on the Packers' third offensive play of the game, when he registered a 19-yard reception. The third-year wideout was pretty quiet thereafter, though he did lead Green Bay with seven targets and finished second with 50 receiving yards. Quarterback Jordan Love spread the ball around pretty evenly between Doubs, Jayden Reed (six targets) and Christian Watson (five targets), but Doubs was the only one of the trio not to catch a touchdown in the season-opening loss. He figures to remain substantially involved in the team's offense in Week 2 versus the Colts, though the Packers' potential for success in the passing game could hinge on the health of Love, who left the game in the waning seconds of the final period with an apparent leg injury.
Clear for Week 1
Doubs (hand) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game against the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Doubs surprisingly was included on Green Bay's first Week 1 injury report with a hand issue, which capped his reps at Tuesday's practice and led to an estimated limited listing Wednesday. Having said that, he logged a full session to end the week and thus is ready for the team's season opener. Doubs is coming off a 59-674-8 line on 96 targets in 17 regular-season games in his second campaign as a pro in 2023.
