Patriots WR injuries continue as Romeo Doubs is added to IR
Doubs is eligible to return during New England's Week 11 bye.
The New England Patriots are facing a setback in their wide receiver lineup as Romeo Doubs is added to the injured reserve. Doubs suffered a shoulder injury during a touchdown catch in a game against the Jets and was forced to miss the remainder of the match. He is now expected to miss the next four games and return to action at the beginning of Week 11, following the Patriots' game against the Detroit Lions in Munich.
The injury occurred when Drake Maye threw a pass to Doubs, who made a diving catch for the touchdown. Initially, Doubs' teammates celebrated with him, even attempting CPR, but it was later discovered that the injury was more severe than initially thought. Doubs is currently the team's leading receiver with 261 yards and three touchdowns on 14 receptions.
The Patriots also placed Mack Hollins on injured reserve on October 10 due to a calf injury. With Doubs and Hollins sidelined, A.J. Brown, DeMario "Pop" Douglas, and Efton Chism will now make up the majority of the Patriots' wide receiver corps.
