The Green Bay Packers have begun the 2024 NFL season 2-2 and currently sit in last place in the NFC North.
Surprisingly, the two games that the Packers have won have been with backup quarterback Malik Willis starting under center instead of Jordan Love.
On Sunday, the team travels to Los Angeles to face the Rams.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Green Bay might be without two of its outstanding receivers in Romeo Doubs (personal matter) and Christian Watson (ankle sprain).

Last year, both Doubs and Watson proved to be two of the best young receivers in the NFL.
Doubs, who was drafted by Green Bay in 2022, posted 59 receptions for 674 yards and eight touchdowns.
Watson, also picked in 2022, had 28 grabs in nine starts (one year after snagging 41 passes) for 422 yards and five scores.
In 2024, the duo has been steady with Doubs leading the team in receiving yards in Week 2 and Watson leading the way in Week 3.
Even if the Pack is without the services of its two pass catchers, the Rams still need to contend with Jayden Reed.
The second-year receiver had 64 catches for just under 800 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023.
In two starts this season, Reed has 17 receptions for 336 yards and two touchdowns for the Packers.
He led the team in reception yards in Week 1 (138 against Philadelphia) and Week 4 (139 against Minnesota).
Both Reed and Love should have a good day against LA.
The Rams are 1-3 and sport an offense and defense that are in the bottom third of the league.
