Doubs dove for the catch, reaching a top speed of 21.44 mph, then landed hard on his shoulder. He was initially listed as questionable to return but was ruled out early in the third quarter. The injury forced the Patriots to adjust their receiving corps, especially after having added A.J. Brown earlier in the season.
