Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Dobbs was not on the practice field Thursday for a personal reason, and will be day-to-day before Sunday’s showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
Coach Matt LaFleur said he hopes Dobbs will return to practice on Friday.
“Yes, I hope so,” LaFleur said Thursday. “We’ll take it one day at a time.”
Doubs played 224 offensive snaps, the most among Packers receivers so far in 2024.
Through four games, Dobbs has caught 12 of 20 targets for 169 yards. He is averaging a career-high 14.1 yards per catch and 8.5 yards per target, but has yet to catch a touchdown pass after hauling in eight last season. Nine of his 12 catches were first downs.
The Packers were also without receiver Christian Watson, who is recovering from an ankle injury suffered Sunday against the Vikings. Watson has missed back-to-back practices and is not expected to play against the Rams.
If Dobbs and Watson are not available Sunday, the Packers will have Jayden Reed, Dontaveon Weeks, Beau Milton and Malik Heath as four receivers on the 53-man roster. Julian Hicks, Cornelius Johnson and TJ Luther are available for promotion from the practice squad if needed.
