Following the play, Doubs was evaluated in the medical tent before being escorted to the locker room. Initially listed as questionable to return, the team later announced that he would not re-enter the game. (rotowire.com)
Prior to this incident, Doubs had been a key component of the Patriots' offense, recording 13 receptions for 219 yards and two touchdowns over the first five games of the season. (athlonsports.com)
With Doubs sidelined, the Patriots' receiving corps relied on A.J. Brown, who was returning from a four-game absence due to a high ankle sprain, along with DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III, and Kyle Williams. (patspulpit.com)
The Patriots are scheduled to face the Chicago Bears on Thursday night in Week 7, providing a limited recovery window for Doubs. The team has yet to release further details regarding the severity of his injury or his availability for the upcoming game. (rotoballer.com)
