Green Bay Packers Lose Another Wide Receiver To Injury

The Green Bay Packers are entering a new era. The 2023 Packers offense features a slew of promising young weapons. This gang, led by Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, intends to combine with Jordan Love over the next three years to form a formidable aerial attack.

However, it was announced today that one wide receiver will begin the season on the NFL’s non-football injury list. To begin camp, the Packers placed OLB Rashan Gary, CB Eric Stokes, C Jake Hanson, and WR Jeff Cotton on the physically unable to perform list, and WR Grant DuBose and TE Camden McDonald on the non-football injury list, according to the official NFL transaction wire.

Grant DuBose, a rookie wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, was selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Charlotte, NC. DuBose was selected by the Packers as a top receiving prospect. In 2021, he caught 62 receptions for 892 yards and six scores, and in 2022, he grabbed 64 catches for 792 yards and nine touchdowns.

Jason Vrable, receivers coach and passing-game coordinator, was impressed by DuBose’s willingness to do the dirty job. “Watching him at Charlotte, I thought there were some raw things to him because he only played two years there,” Vrable said ahead of the start of organized team activities.

“But the way he caught the ball, the way how physical he was, he blocked, he kind of reminded me of Lazard the way he was throwing his body around and being physical and gritty.”

The Green Bay Packers are eager to get DuBose on the field because, once there, they plan to release him like they did Allen Lazard.
