The Packers' offense was struggling against the Eagles in their wild-card round playoff game and their job became even harder when Romeo Doubs left the field with a potential concussion. The Green Bay wide receiver was trying to make a play in the endzone and fell awkwardly with his head slamming into the turf. It was a tough attempt to catch the ball in double coverage as the visitors looked to put their first points on the board in Philadelphia.

Romeo Doubs had suffered a concussion earlier this season in November against the San Francisco 49ers. That is why he was wearing a guardian cap over his helmet but that did not help him break his fall too much. He had to be turned over physically by the trainers who came to attend to him on the pitch as his colleagues, from both teams, kneeled around him.

He eventually was helped up and left the field with the help of the medical attendants, who took him straight to the locker room. As shown in the video from the tunnel, he still needed their support even after he left the pitch. He did not emerge again for the third quarter against the Eagles with a return looking extremely unlikely.

Packers' Jayden Reed joins fellow WR Romeo Doubs on injury list vs. Eagles

To compound the Packers' problems on offense, Jayden Reed went down with a shoulder injury in the third quarter after being hit hard by an Eagles' defender after a catch. He looked in immediate discomfort and left the field to be checked by medical professionals.

This is in addition to Christian Watson, who is missing from this match after an injury against the Bears in Week 18. With so many key players missing on offense, it was no wonder that Green Bay was struggling on offense, and it was left to the defense and Josh Jacobs to answer for them against Philadelphia.

The running back scored his team's first touchdown in the fourth quarter and the defense kept coming back again and again to limit the home team from scoring many points. A field goal miss by Brandon McManus did not help either in the first half as the visiting team failed to score in the first half.

This matchup against the second-seeded Eagles was always expected to be tough for the seventh-ranked Packers, but the glut of injuries made it even harder.
