A video showcased the training staff having to walk Doubs right into the locker room. Based on the way that he hit his head, the receiver might be dealing with a concussion or worse.
The Packers need all the help they can get, and losing Doubs is taking away a stalwart offensive weapon that is going to impact the offensive, which has been struggling in the game.
At the time of this writing, the Eagles are leading the game 10-3. The Eagles' defense has been all over the Packers, leading to Green Bay not being able to secure a touchdown so far through nearly three-quarters of action.
Doubs has had a solid season, securing 601 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season. The three-year receiver has built quite a good rapport with quarterback Jordan Love.
The hope for the Packers is that Doubs only suffered a minor injury, and he will now be held out for the rest of their potential playoff run. Granted, Green Bay will need to get past the surging Eagles to ensure that happens, but there is plenty of game left to play.
Losing Doubs will impact their playoff prowess, but the Packers do still have star running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks that can help get the offense going in the second half of this Wild Card matchup.
More information will come out about the severity of Doubs' injury in the coming hours, but he is currently being evaluated for concussion. The tragic nature of the injury is that the receiver was wearing a Guardian Cap to protect himself from a head injury, which still occurred.
If Doubs is confirmed to have a concussion, this would be the second of his 2024 season.
