Packers WR Taken for Doping Test After Stunning Week 13 Win Over Lions

Detroit, Michigan
The Green Bay Packers pulled off a thrilling 31 to 24 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season. It was a defining moment that put them back in the NFC North playoff conversation. But inside the locker room, the celebration was interrupted by an unexpected twist. A young wide receiver, who was arguably the breakout star of the game, was selected for a postgame doping test.

Sources from Ford Field reported that just moments after leaving the sideline to shake hands with quarterback Jordan Love, the player was approached by an NFL official and quietly escorted to the drug testing room. No official comments were made at the time, but teammates were said to be shocked by the decision.

In truth, this receiver had a performance that was nothing short of explosive. He recorded 6 receptions for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns, including crucial fourth down conversions that extended scoring drives. Even more impressively, he led the team in Pro Football Focus offensive grades with a score of 91.7, surpassing both Jordan Love and Aaron Jones.

And yes, the player in question is none other than Dontayvion Wicks, wearing jersey number 13.

Before the game, Wicks was not a household name. He was not the top receiver on the depth chart and rarely received major targets. But on this particular night in Detroit, he delivered a performance that shook the stadium. His precise route running, fearless cuts and key touchdown catch turned the momentum in favor of Green Bay.

So it is no surprise that his sudden surge caught the league’s attention. While the NFL called it a routine random test, many fans and insiders believe his breakout may have triggered the scrutiny.

"If one of my guys plays so well that the NFL wants to drug test him, that tells you just how good he was. Dontayvion is one of the hardest working players I have ever coached. There is nothing suspicious here, just effort and preparation."

LaFleur went on to say that the team fully trusts Wicks and that the test results will not change how they view his contribution.

As of now, the NFL has not released any official results. But with Wicks showing calm professionalism after the game, fans believe this is just another step in t
