Romeo Doubs injury update: Placed on injured reserve with shoulder injury

The Patriots placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and signed defensive back Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster.

By Cole Hartwell

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, according to Ian Rapoport. The Patriots also signed defensive back Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

What happened

In Sunday’s Week 6 game against the New York Jets, Doubs caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye in the first quarter. He stayed on the ground after the play, received medical attention, and walked to the sideline with trainers. He was later ruled questionable to return with a shoulder injury and headed to the locker room.

Depth chart

A.J. Brown is the Patriots’ top wide receiver, with 5.6 PPR points in one game this season. DeMario Douglas has 39.7 PPR points, 22 targets, 13 receptions, 147 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in five games. Efton Chism has 25.6 PPR points in four games.

What’s next

The Patriots have already played their Week 6 game against the Jets.

The #Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and signed DB Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Doubs is now out for at least some period, so fantasy managers in most formats should drop him if they need the roster spot. The immediate beneficiary is likely DeMario Douglas, who has produced 39.7 PPR points, 22 targets, 13 receptions, 147 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in five games, with a 53% snap share. A.J. Brown was expected to be activated off injured reserve for Week 6, according to a previous report, and he remains the clear top receiving option. Douglas and Efton Chism (25.6 PPR points in four games) should absorb some of Doubs’ vacated targets. Mack Hollins remains on injured reserve with a calf injury, per Sleeper’s listing, so he is not an immediate option.
