Green Bay Packers Coach Expects Team to Move Forward After Receiver’s Suspension
Following a one-game suspension, Packers coach Matt LaFleur expressed optimism that the issues surrounding receiver Romeo Doubs have been resolved. Doubs missed two days of practice and meetings, leading to the team’s disciplinary action. Despite his absence, the Packers secured a 24-19 win over the Rams.
LaFleur emphasized the importance of moving forward, stating, “What’s done is done. We’re moving forward. I expect us collectively as a team to continue to move that way.” According to reports, Doubs was unhappy with his role in the passing game, but LaFleur believes this incident is isolated and won’t be repeated.
Doubs, who has 20 catches for 169 yards this season, will be reinstated this week. LaFleur acknowledged that regaining trust will be a “one-day-at-a-time” process. In Doubs’ absence, second-year pro Jayden Reed emerged as a top receiver, catching four passes for 78 yards against the Rams.
The Packers’ receiving corps has been a topic of discussion, with many wondering who would emerge as the team’s top receiver. LaFleur emphasized the importance of teamwork, saying, “I would love everybody to go out and get every number they’d love to hit… It’s all about winning and how do you put each piece together to go out there and win games.”
With a deep pool of capable pass catchers, including tight ends like Tucker Kraft, who had a breakout game with four catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns, LaFleur believes the team’s collective strength will ultimately lead to success.
