The Green Bay Packers are trying to do something that they have not accomplished since the days of Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr: defeat the Los Angeles Rams on the road in California. The last time a Packers team beat the Rams in Los Angeles was in 1966. They are 0-14 against Los Angeles since then (but did go 4-2 against the Rams in St. Louis between 1995-2015).
Green Bay’s attempt to break their 58-year draught in Los Angeles against the Rams is going to require them to overcome much more than just an interesting bit of history, though. The Packers are also going to be missing both of their starting wide receivers.
Green Bay Packers Wide Receivers Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs Will Not Play vs the Los Angeles Rams
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (87) pulls down a long first down reception against Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones (40) in the fourth quarter during their football game Sunday, September 15, 2024, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was injured during Green Bay’s Week Four loss to the Minnesota Vikings at home in Lambeau Field. When the injury first occurred, many fans and analysts feared the worst. However, Watson escaped with a high ankle sprain and will even avoid going on injured reserve. However, he will be out on Sunday against the Rams.
