Things just go from bad to worse for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Not only did they lose their Week 9 clash against the formerly 1-6 Detroit Lions, 15-9, as Rodgers struggled to lead the Packers offense, their injury report only grew in the aftermath just to rub the salt on the Packers' wounds.

After the game, two mainstays of the Packers' offensive lineup – wide receiver Romeo Doubs and running back Aaron Jones – were seen in walking boots after suffering lower body injuries in their game at Ford Field. In fact, Doubs couldn't even make it past the Packers' opening drive as he exited the game early with what was deemed at first to be a right foot injury.

However, according to Ian Rapoport, Romeo Doubs suffered a high-ankle sprain, which usually take 4-6 weeks to heal. Nevertheless, the 22-year old wideout will still go through further tests to determine exactly just how long the injury will keep him out.

This is undoubtedly a big loss for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, as Doubs is second only to Allen Lazard in average targets per game among the Packers' receiving corps. The rookie has also amassed the third-most receiving yards in the team, trailing only Lazard and tight end Robert Tonyan.

Doubs' troubling injury update comes on the heels of the positive update on Aaron Jones' injury, as further tests on his injured ankle came back clean. With Rodgers struggling to control the passing game, Jones' contributions should be immense in keeping the Packers' offense afloat, so the hope for Packers fans is that Doubs follows Jones on the good news train especially for a team in dire need of it.

With the Packers' injury woes piling up, it's understandable why the the Packers' frustrations are bubbling over. De'Vonte Campbell called out NFL teams for using turf instead of natural grass, as he argued that the former contributes to a higher rate of injuries as the surface doesn't lend itself to a smooth landing when running or jumping.

At the end of the day, Aaron Rodgers will have to step up amidst the reality the Packers face, and with eight games left in their season, he will have to wake up from a season-long slump.
