Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Friday spoke with the media and finally addressed his suspension from the team.
Doubs had been suspended for one game due to what the team said was detrimental conduct. Doubs missed practice last week and did not give the team any notice about it. A report suggested that Doubs was unhappy with his role on the team, but Doubs says that’s not the case. Rather, Doubs indicated he is going through some personal issues and wished he had handled things better.
“I had some things going on mentally,” Doubs told reporters from in front of his locker on Friday.

Doubs declined to get into why he wasn’t at practice. He made clear that the matter is not about his role.
“It’s a great offense here. … It’s much bigger than me individually finding my role. In this league, it’s just winning football games,” Doubs said.
Romeo Doubs would not go into detail on why he skipped practice, but said wanting more targets was not a reason.
