As the drama escalated, the Packers tested Romeo Dubs at home after he skipped practice
A development is underway in the Packers' wide receiver room.
Romeo Dubs skipped practice Thursday and Friday because he was “concerned with his opportunities in the passing game,” Bill Huber, who covers the Packers under the Sports Illustrated domain, reported Friday night.
The report said the team was “concerned about Dubs' well-being” after Thursday's absence and organization representatives checked on him at his home.
It's an odd situation, because the Dubs weren't overlooked on offense.
He ranks third on the Packers with 20 targets, just two behind team leaders Jaden Reed and Dontevion Weeks.
Wide receiver Christian Watson is expected to miss this week's game with an ankle injury, so one would understand that Dobbs will feature in the Packers' offense on Sunday against the Rams.
However, longtime Packers watcher Aaron Nagler speculated that the Dubs' displeasure could come from this week's game plan, which was installed in practice Wednesday.
Dubs has been officially designated as questionable for Sunday's game due to a personal matter.
“It's still day-to-day,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday.
The Packers had a bizarre situation last year in which they suspended star cornerback Zaire Alexander for a key game after he anointed himself team captain during the pregame coin toss against the Panthers and almost made a mistake where opponents would get the ball first in each half. .
“The decision to suspend a player is never easy and we do not take it lightly,” Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said in a statement at the time. “Unfortunately, Jair's actions prior to the Carolina game led us to take this action. As an organization, we expect everyone to put the team first.”
Alexander and the team mended fences, and the cornerback had a pick-six against the Titans in Week 3 this season.
