The Green Bay Packers were back on the practice field on Wednesday but without a few key players.
After sustaining a groin injury in Sunday’s game against Miami, Keisean Nixon was held out, as was Christian Watson, who suffered a hip injury. Nixon has, of course, added some incredible playmaking to the Packers’ kick return unit and has been a true difference-maker, currently leading the NFL in total kick return yards, despite not assuming that responsibility until Week 6, while also ranking second in yards per return per PFF.
In Nixon’s place on Sunday as the kick returner was Romeo Doubs, who didn’t come to the NFL with kick return experience but rather as a punt returner, where he averaged over 10 yards per return during his college career.
