The Packers suspend WR Romeo Doubs vs. Rams for conduct detrimental to the team

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers have suspended wide receiver Romeo Doubs from Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams for what they believe was conduct detrimental to the team.

Doubs did not train on Thursday or Friday. The Packers (2-2) said at the time that it was a personal matter.

“His decisions and actions during the week had a negative impact on the team and required us to take these actions,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said in a statement Saturday. “While we are certainly disappointed, we are confident that we can move forward positively. Romeo is a valuable member of our team and we look forward to welcoming him back next week.”

Doubs has 12 catches for 169 yards and no touchdowns in Green Bay's first four games this season after having 59 catches for 674 yards and eight touchdowns last year. He capped his 2023 season with a total of ten passes for 234 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' two playoff games.

He has spent his entire three-year career with the Packers, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2022 draft out of Nevada.

In other moves, the Packers signed cornerback Robert Rochell from their practice squad to the active squad on Saturday and brought fullback Andrew Beck from the active squad for Sunday's game in Los Angeles.

Rochell has played in 39 career regular season games for the Rams (2021-22) and Packers (2023-24).
