The Green Bay Packers will not be releasing wide receiver Romeo Doubs, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Up and Adams.
When LaFleur was asked if the team would consider cutting Doubs, it was a simple answer.
““No, that will not happen,” LaFleur said. “Because Rome is out there competing and doing everything that we need to see from him. Obviously, he’s played a lot of ball for us and at a high level. He’s been a great teammate, and he goes out there and you can count on him every day.”
The Packers once had a deep wide receiver room and could have afforded to move one player after drafting Matthew Golden and Saivion Williams, but Christian Watson is still recovering from his torn ACL, and Jayden Reed has a foot injury that could force him to miss the start of the season.
Doubs dealt with concussions last season. That would be a health concern moving forward, though when he has played, the big-bodied wide receiver has made plays.
In 13 games a season ago, Doubs had 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns. Had he stayed healthy, Doubs was on track for a career season. In 2023, Doubs made 59 grabs for 674 yards and eight touchdowns.
He played with Aaron Rodgers, which adds to the connection with the Steelers, but given the spot the Packers are in right now with injuries, it seems unlikely they will move on from Doubs in any capacity.
