Patriots WR Doubs Out 4 Games After Shoulder Injury
19 Oct
Summary
- Romeo Doubs suffered a shoulder injury on a 42-yard touchdown catch.
- The wide receiver will miss at least four games due to the injury.
- New England's receiving corps faces further challenges with multiple injuries.
The New England Patriots have placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve Monday, a move impacting the team's depth significantly ahead of their Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears. Doubs sustained a shoulder injury during the first quarter of the Patriots' recent 26-19 victory over the New York Jets.
The injury occurred while Doubs was making a diving 42-yard touchdown catch. He is expected to be sidelined for at least four games, with his earliest possible return being Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
This latest setback exacerbates the Patriots' injury concerns at the wide receiver position. Prior to this, Mack Hollins was placed on injured reserve with a calf injury, and A.J. Brown recently returned after a four-game absence due to a high ankle sprain. Head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the difficulty of preparing for a short week with such significant personnel issues.
In related roster moves, the Patriots announced the signing of defensive back Elliot Davison to the 53-man roster and wide receiver Ryan Miller to the practice squad. Miller previously played five games for the Miami Dolphins.
