BREAKING: Matt LaFleur Confirms Major Decision On Romeo Doubs After Week 5 Suspension
Matt LaFleur and the Green Bay Packers rebounded from their Week 4 loss with a gritty 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, despite being without key wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. Watson was sidelined with an ankle injury, while Doubs missed the game due to a suspension from the team after skipping Thursday and Friday practices out of frustration with his limited opportunities in the passing game. Doubs met with the team on Monday, and LaFleur described the meeting as productive, though he issued a clear warning, stating he doesn’t expect such issues to arise again in the future.
LaFleur’s message to Doubs was firm: while he’s welcome to rejoin the team, this kind of disruption won’t be tolerated going forward.
Coach Matt LaFleur: “It's a pretty isolated incident. This has not happened with him before and I don't expect it to happen moving forward." https://t.co/jkw9dFUIOP

Doubs has 12 catches for 169 yards through four games and is expected to play a bigger role with Watson out, especially now that Jordan Love is fully healthy. It will be interesting to see how LaFleur incorporates Doubs into the offense, as the team may aim to get him more involved to avoid further off-field distractions.
