Packrs rookie WR Romeo Doubs (ankle) returns to practice

Green Bay Packers rookie receiver Romeo Doubs is getting closer to a return to the playing field.

Doubs, who suffered a significant ankle injury against the Detroit Lions on Nov. 6, returned to practice on Wednesday and now has a chance to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Doubs was injured on the Packers’ first play on offense during the team’s Week 9 loss to the Lions at Ford Field. His ankle was twisted while being tackled at the end of an 18-yard catch.

Doubs caught 31 passes for 314 yards and three touchdowns before his injury, including a four-catch, 62-yard performance in Buffalo against the Bills in Week 8.

Doubs missed games against the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles.

Getting the fourth-rounder back would provide another boost to a Packers passing game that has recently witnessed Christian Watson’s ascendence (six touchdowns) during Doubs’ three-game absence.

The Packers will provide an official injury report to open Week 13 on Wednesday.
