Patriots place Romeo Doubs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury
(AP) — The same day the New England Patriots got one of their top wide receivers back, they lost another one for at least a month.Romeo Doubs was placed on injured reserve Monday with a shoulder injury he sustained following his first-quarter touchdown catch in Sunday's 26-19 win win over the New York Jets.
On Monday, the New England Patriots placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury that occurred during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Doubs sustained the injury following his first-quarter touchdown catch, where he came open in the end zone, signaled to quarterback Drake Maye, and made a diving catch.
He was attended to by trainers and did not return to the game. Following the game, Maye expressed concern that his throw might have caused Doubs to dive for the ball, as he believes he could have passed it differently to avoid the injury. Doubs has had a strong season, catching 14 passes for 261 receiving yards and scoring three touchdowns.
Signed to a four-year, $70 million deal in free agency, Doubs is now expected to miss at least four games.
