The Green Bay Packers will now start to prep for Week 1 of the 2023 NFL regular season, whether that it is with or without wide receiver Romeo Doubs. Sometime before the preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, he suffered a hamstring injury.
How Will the Packers Do if Romeo Doubs Is Out Week 1?
Heading into the season, Doubs was listed as the No. 2 wide receiver on the depth chart. He was developing chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love. Christian Watson is the top wide receiver on the roster.
If Doubs will be sidelined for the first game on the road of the Chicago Bears, how will this offense operate without him?
Well, it is quite possible Chicago potentially double-team Christian Watson, knowing that he could be the only threat in the passing game for the Packers. The Packers will probably run the football often with Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon to try to set up the play-action.
Rookies Will Have to Step Up

If Doubs is listed as inactive in Week 1, rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed will step into the No. 2 wide receiver role for the Green Bay Packers. Reed had a good preseason for Green Bay, and he would be ready to go. Another rookie to potentially watch for is Malik Heath, who is on the verge of making the 53-man roster. He has earned the right to be on this roster for the Packers.
At the tight end position, Jordan Love will want to throw check downs to rookie tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft. They will have to be relied upon a lot in the offense if they want to have success this season. Not having Doubs in Week 1 would hurt the offense, but the Packers have other reliable players to get the job done against the Chicago Bears also.
