Pats Pulpit • • sports
Key Points:
- The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury sustained during their win over the New York Jets, sidelining him for at least four games.
- Doubs is expected to return after the Week 11 bye, with no long-term absence anticipated, as he will be eligible to practice after Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
- Doubs was injured on a 42-yard touchdown catch and left the game early; his placement on IR follows NFL rules requiring a minimum absence before returning to practice.
- With Doubs on IR, the Patriots currently have four active receivers: A.J. Brown, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism, while Mack Hollins may return from IR in Week 9.
- The Patriots will face the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football this week, continuing their season amid roster adjustments.
