A struggling offense and an injured roster aren’t the best combination. Unfortunately, that is exactly what the Green Bay Packers are currently suffering from. Both center Elgton Jenkins and wide receiver Romeo Doubs left the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. And head coach Matt LaFleur doesn’t seem to have the best updates.

As Rob Demovsky reported, the coach has shared that Elgton Jenkins’ ankle injury “doesn’t sound promising.”
After getting sacked by the Eagles’ defensive end Nolan Smith Jr., Jenkins got his left ankle awkwardly rolled under quarterback Jordan Love. Later, he was carted off the field.

After being listed as questionable, the Packers ruled him out for the rest of the game. If anything, coach LaFleur’s update has added to the concern around the player’s injury. In his absence, the Packers will lean more on guard Sean Rhyan and offensive lineman Jacob Monk.
But the Packers took another injury hit late in the fourth quarter. Doubs sustained a chest injury and later walked to the locker room. Although Doubs was listed as questionable, too, he did not return to the game. The severity of his injury is unknown.

The coach also didn’t seem to have a clear update on Doubs. “I don’t have a ton of information right now. I just know that he was ruled out,” he said when asked about the 25-year-old.
This came as the offense struggled heavily during the game. Even a perfect defense, which limited the Eagles to 10 points, couldn’t help.

There were turnover issues, and the Eagles’ defense was able to keep the Packers scoreless for three quarters. It seems that due to injured tight end Tucker Kraft’s absence, coach LaFleur even changed his game plan by limiting the quarterback’s opportunities to throw in the game.
Whether the change helped him is another debate. Now, while he praised the defense, coach LaFleur called out the issues in the offense that need to be fixed.
“Unfortunately, there’s absolutely no moral victories in our sport,” he said.

“But I was proud of our guys’ effort. I thought they battled for four quarters. Our defense was outstanding, and unfortunately, just too many mistakes offensively to overcome. If you hold good football teams to 10 points, you should win the football game in my opinion.”
The coach also addressed Love’s fumble.

The QB finished 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. However, he had one fumble during the second quarter. And Eagles’ outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips recovered the ball.
“I gotta go back and see it,” the coach said when asked about the ball.
“However, the guy is battling. It’s not for a lack of effort, obviously. He’d rather take a sack than fumble, but I know he’s trying to get rid of the football. It is what it is. It’s been very, very choppy as of late,” LaFleur said about the player.
The QB has also addressed his mistake during his interview.
“It all starts with taking care of the ball,” he said. “Turnovers are something that’s been hurting us in these close games. I’ve got to find ways to overcome that and keep being smart with the ball.”
The issue is a lack of pass catchers. Wide receiver Jayden Reed is on injured reserve, while wide receiver Matthew Golden was also unavailable. And LaFleur’s change in game plan speaks volumes on this issue.
Now, without Tucker on the offense, the Packers will look to avoid the same offensive struggles when they play against the New York Giants in Week 11.
