Romeo Doubs injury: Patriots get positive update on star WR

Readthrough summary

After the Patriots put Romeo Doubs on IR Monday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the receiver is "hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye" and that the stint isn't expected to be long-term, Pats Pulpit writes.

Doubs hurt his shoulder landing after a 42-yard touchdown catch on the second offensive snap against the Jets. Under NFL rules he can't practice until after the Week 10 game against Detroit in Germany. The following bye gives him an extra week before the Week 12 game against the Chargers.

That leaves four receivers on the active roster: A.J. Brown, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism. Mack Hollins, on IR with a calf injury, becomes eligible to return in Week 9.

Key points

  • ESPN: Doubs hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye
  • Four WRs active; Hollins eligible in Week 9
