Romeo Doubs injury update: Green Bay Packers inactives revealed for TNF vs. Lions
The Green Bay Packers have released their inactive list for the Week 14 Thursday Night Football game against the Detroit Lions. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion), cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee), linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), cornerback Corey Ballentine (knee) and offensive lineman Jacob Monk will miss the important NFC North battle.
Doubs suffered a concussion against the San Francisco 49ers and hasn’t cleared concussion protocol. Alexander injured his knee in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 27. He aggravated the injury during the game against the Chicago Bears last month.
The Packers enter Thursday’s game with a lot of momentum, winning seven of their last eight games after starting the season 2-2. Interestingly enough, the loss the Packers suffered during that stretch was against the Lions at Lambeau Field.
“It’s not like our first hostile environment,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said about playing in Detroit, per the team’s official website. “Chicago was pretty loud, but I get it. This is going to be louder. It’s going to be a dome stadium and their fan base is going crazy right now getting behind the Lions.

More on the Packers vs. Lions TNF matchup
“So it’s going to be a fun environment. I love it where it’s just the guys in the locker room going out and competing for one another.”
The Packers won’t be intimidated by Ford Field since they won there last season. “Yeah, you can lean on that, but I think no matter who it is, if we had a whole new team, guys would be confident,” Packers QB Jordan Love said. “We’re confident every game we go into and obviously I think we have enough motivation having lost the first game to these guys, so we owe them and we’ll be able to put up a good fight in Detroit.”
The Packers come into the game with a 9-3 record, while the Lions are 11-1. It’s a must-win game for Green Bay if they want to give themselves a chance to win the division and host a playoff game.
