Romeo Doubs (ankle) returns to Packers practice Wednesday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Doubs hasn't played since injuring his ankle in Week 9, but Wednesday's return puts him on track to return for Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bears. The fourth-round rookie played on 89.1% of the offensive snaps in his last six healthy games, but fellow rookie Christian Watson has likely supplanted Doubs on the depth chart moving forward. Doubs is expected to compete with Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb for snaps in three-wide sets.
The Packers are facing a Bears team in Week 13 that has the second-worst pass defense in the NFL, according to numberFire's advanced metrics. Watson is the WR37 in our weekly PPR rankings and our models project him for 5.7 targets.
