The Green Bay Packers will be looking to bounce back in Week 5 as they are coming off a tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
The Packers fell behind early against the Vikings in Week 4 as Jordan Love struggled in his return from a knee injury.
Although Love eventually found his footing and led a massive comeback, he and Green Bay ultimately fell short and fell to 2-2 during the 2024 NFL season.
Fortunately for the Packers, their Week 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams looks softer on paper as they have struggled to defend every part of the field so far.
Green Bay is still dealing with some injuries, though, as they’ll likely be without Christian Watson who is recovering from a high-ankle sprain.
The Packers will also be without receiver Romeo Doubs who the team suspended for one game after he missed multiple practices this past week via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
“The #Packers have suspended WR Romeo Doubs, who missed two practices this past week, for their game against the #Rams. But after a frustrating week, there’s an expectation things have moved in a positive direction and he will rejoin the team next week,” Rapoport reported.

Doubs was reportedly upset with his role in the offense and decided to skip practices, resulting in the team disciplining him for one game.
Jayden Reed, Watson and even Dontayvion Wicks have made more of an impact in the passing game so far this season, while Doubs has yet to make his mark.
Even without Doubs, the Packers should be able to pick up a win against a struggling Rams squad.
