The Green Bay Packers have placed WR Romeo Doubs on the reserve/suspended list for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, signed CB Robert Rochell from the practice squad to the active roster and elevated FB Andrew Beck from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transactions Saturday.
“Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to suspend Romeo for this week’s game,” said Gutekunst. “His decisions and actions during the week negatively impacted the team and required us to take this action. While we are certainly disappointed, we are confident that we will be able to move forward in a positive manner. Romeo is a valuable member of our team and we look forward to welcoming him back next week.”
Rochell has been on the Packers’ practice squad this entire season and has appeared in two games as a gameday elevation. Overall, he has played in 39 regular-season games with five starts for the Los Angeles Rams (2021-22) and Green Bay Packers (2023-24).
DL Jonathan Ford (calf), who is designated for return from injured reserve and currently within a 21-day practice window, will not travel and will not play this week.
