The Patriots continue to see their plans to use offseason receiver acquisitions A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs together fizzle. Just as Brown returned from IR, Doubs is out of the equation.
Doubs is now on New England’s IR list, per the team. The free agent pickup suffered a shoulder injury against the Jets on Sunday. The Pats signed defensive back Elliot Davison from their practice squad to take Doubs’ roster spot.
A diving Doubs 42-yard touchdown reception will lead him off New England’s 53-man roster. The first-quarter catch ended Doubs’ day. This will be the fifth-year veteran’s first time on IR as a pro. Doubs missed two games due to injury in 2024 but has been mostly durable throughout his career. The former fourth-round Packers draftee was a key part of the Patriots overhauling their receiving corps this offseason, but he and Brown have not seen the field together much this season.
More to come.
