Despite no receiver being injured in the Packers\u2019 preseason opener against the New York Jets, practice reps have taken out Jayden Reed (foot), Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Romeo Doubs (unknown) and Savion Williams (unknown). On Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acmepackingcompany.com\/green-bay-packers-news\/69034\/green-bay-packers-news-romeo-doubs-injury-update-training-camp-8-12-2025-depth-chart-notes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">both Doubs and Williams dropped out of action<\/a> in their last practice before the team\u2019s trip to Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Including Christian Watson, who is coming off an ACL tear, only one of the Packers\u2019 top six receivers is healthy right now: first-round rookie Matthew Golden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Baker has spent some time in Green Bay already. He was on the Packers\u2019 practice squad for about three weeks back in the 2022 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The South Alabama product was drafted in 2021 by the New Orleans Saints, where he saw action in two games as a rookie on special teams. In 2022, he was suspended for the first six games of the regular season for performance-enhancing substances. When he returned from suspension, the Saints released him, and he was added to the Packers\u2019 practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Since his stint in Green Bay, he\u2019s spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Saints, New England Patriots and Raiders, either on their offseason roster or practice squad. He was also rostered by the UFL\u2019s San Antonio Brahmas last year, but he never got on the field for San Antonio. The Brahmas were cut-happy last year. By Late May, they had released twice as many players as any other team in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Before signing with the Raiders, Baker had also worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Green Bay Packers\u2019 receivers are banged up.
