Romeo Doubs Opens Up About Personal Struggles Amid Team and Family Pressure

Green Bay, Wisconsin – December 30, 2025

Wide receiver Romeo Doubs of the Green Bay Packers has recently opened up about the personal challenges he has been facing off the field, revealing the intense pressure he feels not only from his team but also from his family. Sources close to Doubs say he has been candid about the emotional strain affecting both his professional and personal life.

"I’ve been out here working to earn money and just want to come home to something enjoyable," Doubs said in a private conversation shared with reporters. "But she’s just at home, not doing anything, and yelling at me all the time. It’s exhausting. I feel pressure from every side — from the team, from family, and it’s hard to balance it all."

Doubs started the season strong, emerging as a mid-season WR option who delivered consistent production for the Packers. However, his performance has dropped significantly in the final stretch of the season. In the four games leading up to Week 17, he recorded only 11 catches for 101 yards and 1 touchdown, with his targets dropping to four or fewer in multiple games. His route share also fell to around 54–60%, limiting his opportunities to contribute to the offense. Analysts from FantasyPros, Dairyland Express, and RotoBaller describe him as “getting lost in the shuffle”, overshadowed by the return of Jayden Reed, as well as Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden. Drops and reduced efficiency have made him nearly “unusable” in fantasy leagues and diminished his impact on the field.

Despite the slump, Doubs has not been sidelined by injury. Aside from minor wrist issues earlier in the season, he has participated in full practices and played in all recent games, indicating that the decline is largely performance- and circumstance-related rather than health-related.

Doubs’ candid comments highlight the unseen pressures that professional athletes often endure. While fans see the highlights and game-day performances, the personal toll — from family dynamics to mental and emotional strain — can be significant. For Doubs, the conflict at home adds another layer of challenge during a slump in production, making the balance between professional commitment and personal happiness particularly difficult.

"I just want to enjoy life when I’m home," Doubs continued. "I love playing football, but I need space to breathe and moments to feel peace. I hope things can change and we can find a better balance."

As the Packers approach the final games of the season, fans and teammates alike are hoping that Doubs can rediscover his form on the field while finding stability and support off the field, allowing him to contribute meaningfully during the playoff push.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers – How to Watch & Listen | NFL Week 18
Tampa, Florida – Just hours remain before the decisive regular-season finale of the 2025 NFL season in the NFC South: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Carolina Panthers at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at 4:30 PM EST. This is a dramatic win-and-in showdown — the winner punches a playoff ticket (with certain tiebreaker scenarios involving the Falcons). The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7–9) are mired in a severe downturn, losing seven of their last eight games since the bye week, most recently a 20–17 defeat to the Dolphins. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has struggled with turnovers (multiple recent interceptions), and the offense has lacked consistency despite weapons like Mike Evans. The defense has also been vulnerable against the run. Tampa Bay must win to keep hopes alive for a fifth straight division title, but current form has fueled widespread doubt. The Carolina Panthers (8–8) are coming off a lopsided 27–10 loss to the Seahawks, yet still sit atop the NFC South thanks to stronger recent results — including a 23–20 win over the Buccaneers in Week 16. Quarterback Bryce Young has flashed upside but remains inconsistent, while the offense leans heavily on a powerful run game. Carolina aims to end a playoff drought dating back to 2017 and capture its first division title since 2015. 📺 TELEVISION BROADCAST Nationwide/Local: Live on ESPN • ABC • ESPN DEPORTESAnnouncers: Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Dan Orlovsky & Louis Riddick (analysts), Katie George & Peter Schrager (sideline) 💻 LIVE STREAMING Nationwide: ESPN+, NFL+, FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV (ABC/ESPN available – free trials available)In-Market: Free on the Buccaneers App or Panthers App in local marketsOut-of-Market: NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube / YouTube TV 🎧 RADIO BROADCAST Tampa Bay: 98ROCK – Gene Deckerhoff (play-by-play), Dave Moore (analyst)Carolina: Panthers Radio NetworkNationwide/International: SiriusXM, TuneIn Premium, NFL App 📅 GAME DETAILS Kickoff: Saturday, January 3, 2026 – 4:30 PM ESTVenue: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FloridaWeather Forecast (latest): Temperatures around 14–23°C (58–74°F), mostly cloudy to rainy (100% chance, ~3mm rainfall), strong winds with gusts up to 63 km/h (39 mph) — humid, windy, and wet conditions that could impact the passing game and ball grip.Gates Open: Approximately 2–3 hours before kickoffTickets: Available on Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, StubHub (starting around $100+, depending on section) 🔑 KEY STORYLINES Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7–9): Must rebound from a brutal losing stretch.
