The Green Bay Packers' Wild Card matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles was sadly marred by some significant injuries. To begin with, both guard Elgton Jenkins and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt went down and were eventually pronounced out for the game when the Packers were down 10-0 in the third quarter.

But, also in the third quarter came a scary moment when Green Bay was threatening to put points on the board and quarterback Jordan Love tossed up a ball to wide receiver Romeo Doubs in the end zone.

The pass fell incomplete but Doubs' head hit the ground hard. Of course, Doubs suffered a concussion about a month ago and that was the reason why he was wearing the guardian cap over his helmet.

Soon after he hit the ground, players and staff surrounded him in what became a somber scene.

Doubs was rolled from his chest to his back, carefully.

Then, he was seen walking off the field with each of his arms around a member of the Packers' medical staff on his way to the tunnel.

What's the latest on Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs' injury?

Just a couple of minutes after leaving the field, Doubs' status was then updated courtesy of ESPN's Adam Schefter.

This is obviously not good news for Doubs and the Packers. A second concussion in under two months would be a tough pill to swallow.

With just over five minutes left in the third quarter, the live broadcast announced Doubs "struggled getting into the locker room" as he was walking through the tunnel. The live video feed of Doubs walking into the locker room certainly looked alarming as the wide receiver appeared to be walking gingerly.
