Gets green light for Week 17

Cobb (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The Packers didn't actually practice Friday, but they estimate that Cobb would've been a full participant if they'd held a session. The 28-year-old slot receiver may be playing his final game for the franchise, as his contract expires at the end of the season. With Davante Adams (knee) questionable and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) doubtful, Cobb may have a nice opportunity to surpass his usual range of 5-7 targets.

Listed as limited Thursday

Cobb (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Earlier Thursday, Demovsky relayed Cobb got through the five phases of the concussion protocol, but his listing on the Packers' ensuing injury report suggests otherwise. With his status again murky, Cobb's standing bears monitoring Friday and perhaps into the weekend to get a sense of whether he may return Sunday versus the Lions. In 11 career games against them, he's recorded his second-most catches (48), yards (559) and touchdowns (four) against a given opponent.

Out of concussion protocol

Cobb was cleared from the concussion protocol Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After the Packers' Week 15 loss in Chicago, Cobb was diagnosed with a head injury, entered the NFL's protocol and made no on-field appearances through Wednesday's practice. However, he fit in some activity Thursday prior to Demovsky's report, a combo that sets Cobb up to return for the season finale. If Davante Adams plays through a knee injury as expected Sunday against the Lions, the Packers receiving corps may just be down one player, rookie Equanimeous St. Brown, who entered the concussion…read more

Spotted at practice

Cobb (concussion) is participating in the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: The Packers will provide an update later Thursday indicating whether Cobb's activity level constituted full or limited participation. Either way, it would represent a positive step forward for the wideout, who sat out the team's Week 16 win over the Jets with the head injury and was unable to practice Wednesday. Cobb has a shot to gain clearance from the concussion protocol and suit up in Sunday's season finale against the Lions.

Still non-participant at practice

Cobb (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb has yet to step foot on the practice field since picking up a concussion Week 15 at Chicago. Without a return to drills Thursday or Friday, he'll be in danger of closing out his eighth season with back-to-back absences. It should be noted Davante Adams (undisclosed) and Equanimeous St. Brown (head) also were included in the rehab group Wednesday, so Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jake Kumerow are in line for elevated workloads this week, at least in practice.

Not playing Week 16

Cobb (concussion) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Jets.

Analysis: The Packers' hand was forced after Cobb managed no practice reps this week in his journey through the concussion protocol. Considering his standing, he's not close to meeting with an independent neurologist, which would mark the last step to gaining clearance to play. First, he'll attempt to return to practice during Week 17 preparations. In Cobb's absence, Equanimeous St. Brown is slated to work as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Davante Adams, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jake Kumerow…read more

Doubtful for Sunday

Cobb (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Jets, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Cobb didn't practice at all this week and doesn't seem to have any real shot at making it through the concussion protocol before Sunday. His presumed absence will free up more snaps for some combination of Equanimeous St. Brown, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow (hand), J'Mon Moore and recent signing Allen Lazard. It was St. Brown who led the aforementioned group with a 62 percent snap share in last week's 24-17 loss to Chicago, finishing comfortably ahead of Valdes-Scantling (31 percent)…read more

Not ready for practice

Cobb (concussion) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb's ability to progress even to non-contact work in practice suggests he remains stuck in the initial stages of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The wideout still has a few days for his condition to take a turn for the better before the Week 16 showdown with the Jets, but the Packers might not be inclined to rush him back into action even if he gains clearance to play. Cobb doesn't have a problematic history of head injuries, but he's missed six games this season on account of…read more

Not at practice

Cobb (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Coach Joe Philbin said he doesn't plan to rest banged-up players over the final two weeks of the season, but a cautious approach nonetheless makes sense when dealing with a veteran player recovering from a concussion. Even with no reported history of head injuries, Cobb doesn't have much to gain by playing in Sunday's game against the Jets. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, and a Week 16 absence would free up more snaps for some combination of developmental prospects…read more

In concussion protocol

Cobb has entered the concussion protocol, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb was on the receiving end of a hit from safety Eddie Jackson in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-17 loss in Chicago and wasn't targeted the rest of the game. Finishing with three receptions (on seven targets) for 30 yards, Cobb now seems to be in danger of missing more time as he navigates through the NFL's protocol for head injuries. If he doesn't gain clearance from an independent neurologist before season's end, he'll yield the No. 2 wide receiver position behind Davante Adams to…read more

Under evaluation for concussion

Cobb was evaluated for a concussion near the end of Sunday's 24-17 loss at Chicago, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: With the Packers down 24-14 and driving, Cobb hauled in a pass from Aaron Rodgers and was lit up by Eddie Jackson, drawing a flag that was eventually picked up. Cobb wasn't targeted thereafter and finished with three catches (on seven targets) for 30 yards. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, it would mark the first known head injury of Cobb's eight-year career.

Puts in full practice Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb is thus ready to go for Sunday's visit to Chicago, whose defense has been yielding to opposing wide receivers this season. In 12 contests, the unit has allowed 14.2 receptions and 171.5 yards per game to go with 12 touchdowns to the position. One of those scores was a 75-yarder by Cobb that served as the game-winner Week 1.

Limited in practice Wednesday

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: This is merely par for the course for Cobb, who has been managing a hamstring injury since the latter days of September. The veteran wide receiver is coming off one of his most productive outings of the season -- five receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Sunday's win over the Falcons -- but his fantasy prospects probably aren't as promising for the upcoming weekend with the Bears' staunch defense on the horizon. The matchup should at least be more favorable for Cobb than it…read more

First touchdown since Week 1

Cobb caught five passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Falcons.

Analysis: Cobb had his most productive game in a while, recording his most yardage in a game and his first score since a Week 1 victory over the Bears. He still did not do all that much outside his 24-yard touchdown in the third quarter, so he is hardly a cinch for Week 15 lineups even with the Packers facing the same Bears squad Cobb torched earlier in the season. Cobb at the least should be the healthiest he has been in a while, as he practiced fully Friday for the first time since early November.

Cleared for Week 14

Cobb (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb was a full practice participant Friday for the first time since Nov. 7, clearing the way for his fourth appearance since Week 3. He'll aim for a better showing than the three receptions for 25 yards that he posted in last week's loss to the Cardinals. On Sunday, he'll take on an Atlanta defense that has given up 8.6 yards per target and 17 total touchdowns to wide receivers in 12 games this season.

Puts in limited practice

Cobb (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: In his return from a three-game absence Week 13 against the Cardinals, Cobb consistently worked in three-receiver sets, compiling three catches (on five targets) for 25 yards. Since Cobb played 80 percent of the offensive snaps in that contest, the Packers are likely placing a cap on his reps for maintenance purposes rather than as a result of any setback with his hamstring. Nonetheless, those relying on Cobb in deeper leagues will want to check back in on his status before the end of the week…read more

Limited to 25 yards on 61 snaps

Cobb caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cardinals, playing 61 of 76 snaps (80 percent) on offense.

Analysis: Cobb didn't have any workload limitations in his first appearance since Week 9, but he also didn't do much to help the Packers avoid an embarrassing loss. The team may want to consider giving Equanimeous St. Brown or Jake Kumerow some of Cobb's usual snaps over the final four weeks of the season, as a playoff appearance is now out of the question. Cobb is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Returning to action Sunday

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb is upholding his comments from early in the week, when he told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that he's "excited to get back out there." After tending to a lingering hamstring injury for more than two months, Cobb will be making just his third appearance since Week 3. In his return, he'll face an Arizona defense that has allowed 155.8 receiving yards per game and 11 touchdowns to wideouts in 11 contests this season.

In line to suit up Sunday

Cobb (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is on track to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The wideout noted earlier in the week that he was confident he would be ready to return from a three-game absence Sunday and the Packers apparently agree with Cobb's assessment. Because the hamstring injury has prevented Cobb from playing in six of the Packers' last eight games, it's possible his reps could be limited to some extent in his return, rendering him a shaky fantasy option. Cobb opened the season with a nine-reception, 142-yard performance against the Bears but has underwhelmed in…read more

Listed as questionable again

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Analysis: A limited participant at every practice this week, Cobb said Thursday that he plans to end his three-game streak of absences. It's probably still best to treat him as a game-time decision, considering he's missed six of the last eight games due to issues with his hamstring. The Packers are scheduled for a 1 p.m. EST kickoff, with Equanimeous St. Brown expected to handle a larger role if Cobb is ultimately unable to play.

Expects to play Week 13

Cobb (hamstring) believes he'll be available to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "I'm excited to get back out there because I know with all the noise that's been said over the past week about [quarterback Aaron Rodgers], he's getting ready to light everybody up this week," Cobb said. "It's going to be a lot of fun and I look forward to helping him out."

Analysis: Cobb has made just five appearances this season, with the hamstring issue keeping him sidelined for six of the Packers' last eight games, including three in a row. Though he's still only practicing on a limited basis, he noted that he has felt no issues with the hamstring while working out for the past few days. If Cobb gains clearance to play this weekend, it's possible the Packers will restrict his snap count and ease him back into the mix at receiver, rendering him a shaky option for fantasy…read more

Remains limited in practice

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb was a limited participant all of last week before missing his third straight contest in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Vikings, so he may need to advance to full participation Friday to gain clearance for the Packers' Week 13 matchup with the Cardinals. If Cobb is active for the contest and reclaims his usual role out of the slot, it could result in a reduction of snaps for rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow).

Limited practice Wednesday

Cobb (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb was quite active in the portion of practice open to the media, taking part in all individual drills, per Josh Tolentino of The Athletic. Once the doors closed, though, Cobb likely was unable to participate during team drills. His upcoming availability would get a positive spin with a full session Thursday or Friday, but he appears destined to get a questionable tag yet again for a Week 13 matchup with the Cardinals.

Busy at Wednesday's practice

Cobb (hamstring) appeared to take part in every drill during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb hasn't logged more than a limited practice session since Nov. 7, so his activity level will be noteworthy as he attempts to end a three-game absence. With Geronimo Allison (groin) on injured reserve and Marquez Valdes-Scantling's production tailing off over the past two contests, the Packers offense could use Cobb's veteran savvy and rapport with Aaron Rodgers.

Held out again Week 12

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday in Minnesota, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: Cobb was listed as limited on injury reports Wednesday through Friday and termed a game-time decision by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. On this latter point, Cobb ran routes and caught passes from third-string quarterback (and fellow inactive) Tim Boyle during his pregame warmup, according to Jason Wilde of ESPN.com. Cobb clearly didn't make enough of an impression on the training staff to gain clearance to play, leaving his next chance to take the field Sunday, Dec. 2, versus the Cardinals. In…read more

Game-time call for Week 12

Cobb (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is considered a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Though the latest report views Cobb's availability for Week 12 as more of a coin flip, coach Mike McCarthy expressed optimism Friday the wideout would be ready to return from a two-game absence, per Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Cobb backed up McCarthy's enthusiasm by upping his involvement in practice this week, though the 28-year-old didn't progress beyond limited participation. The Packers will likely wait and see how Cobb looks in pregame warmups before making a call on…read more

Questionable to face Vikings

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: A limited practice participant throughout the week, Cobb may come down to a game-time decision in his bid to play for the first time since Week 9. He reportedly was limited to individual work during Thursday's practice, but the Packers seem to be holding out hope the slot receiver can rejoin the lineup Sunday night. Despite catching four or more passes in each of his five appearances, Cobb hasn't topped 40 yards since Week 1.

Listed as limited Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, Cobb didn't progress beyond individual drills before getting on an elliptical bike. On a positive note, Cobb was listed with a "limited" tag on the injury report both Wednesday and Thursday, marking his first such activity since Nov. 9. It remains to be seen if he'll be active for the first time since Week 9 this Sunday at Minnesota, but at least he's trending in the right direction in his recovery from a hamstring issue.

Logs another limited workout

Cobb (hamstring) appeared to practice Thursday in a limited fashion, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: It doesn't sound like the Packers incorporated Cobb into team drills for their second session of the week, as Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com notes that the wideout did some individual work on the side before jumping on an elliptical machine. While it's good to see that Cobb was involved both Wednesday and Thursday in some fashion, he may need to take contact at Friday's practice to have a realistic shot at returning from a two-game absence Sunday in Minnesota.

Returns to practice

Cobb (hamstring) appeared to be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: The Packers' first practice report of Week 12 will formally clarify how extensively Cobb was involved in the session, but it's nonetheless a step in the right direction for the wideout, who has missed five of the team's last seven games with the lingering hamstring issue. If he gains clearance to play Week 12 in Minnesota, Cobb will likely be featured regularly as the Packers' slot man in three-receiver sets.

Won't play Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Seattle.

Analysis: Cobb was one of four Packers who didn't travel with the team Tuesday, likely to receive more treatment with the hope some of them would be cleared to go to Seattle. None of the four will make the trip, though. In Cobb's place, Equanimeous St. Brown will work in three-wideout sets alongside Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Status unknown for Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) isn't slated to travel with the Packers to Seattle on Tuesday evening, but his status for Thursday's game against the Seahawks remains in question, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Cobb didn't take the field for the Packers' first Week 11 practice Tuesday. While most of his teammates are taking the team flight to the Pacific Northwest, Cobb will stay behind in Green Bay, likely to receive treatment on his lingering hamstring injury. The Packers will touch on his official availability for gameday upon the release of Wednesday's injury report, but it appears as if three-wide sets will include Davante Adams, Marquez…read more

Listed as non-participant Monday

Cobb (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Prior to being inactive Sunday versus the Dolphins, Cobb followed Wednesday's full listing with back-to-back limited sessions to close out Week 10 prep. The Packers didn't take the practice field at all Monday, so it's difficult to tell if his maintenance program has extended into this week. On a short week, coach Mike McCarthy may not hold more than a walk-through or two before Thursday's contest in Seattle, but Cobb seems to be trending toward a game-time decision yet again. Another absence…read more

Not playing Sunday

Cobb (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Analysis: With two games in the span of five days, the Packers are giving Cobb the day off due to the hamstring injury that forced absences Weeks 4-6. Cobb will look to gain clearance for Thursday's visit to Seattle, but before then Aaron Rodgers will lean on the pass-catching trio of Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jimmy Graham. If in search of a bye-week fill-in, Equanimeous St. Brown also should experience an uptick in usage with Cobb out of the lineup.

Appears truly questionable

Cobb (hamstring) remained limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Cobb suffered a mid-week setback with his lingering hammy injury, logging limited practices Thursday and Friday after a full session Wednesday. He appears truly questionable ahead of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff, with the Packers potentially leaning toward a cautious approach for a game they are heavily favored to win. Equanimeous St. Brown would be the obvious choice to join Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in three-wide sets if Cobb isn't able to play.

Downgraded to limited participant

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The Packers listed Cobb as a full participant in practice to open the week, so it's somewhat discouraging that his involvement was scaled back a day later. It's possible that Cobb's limitations were part of a pre-planned maintenance program, as the wideout had been sidelined for three games with the same injury before playing each of the past two weeks. Assuming Cobb hasn't experienced any sort of setback and is cleared to play this weekend against the Dolphins, he should handle his usual…read more

Catches five passes in loss

Cobb caught five passes for 24 yards on six targets in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Cobb's five receptions were his second most in a game this season, but his yardage total was also his second lowest of the five games he has played in 2018. The wideout was on the field for 76 percent of the Packers' plays Sunday after playing just 46 percent of the snaps the week prior, which is a sign he is putting his hamstring woes behind him. However, he now has just 116 yards and no scores over four games after putting up 142 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, so it's pretty tough for…read more

Suiting up Sunday

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at New England, the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: After following a limited/limited/full practice regimen during the week, Cobb was more or less in line to suit up in spite of a questionable tag. With fellow wideout Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) out of commission, Cobb should find offensive snaps easier to come by than last Sunday in LA. Working with Davante Adams, Cobb and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the other preferred options in three-wide sets. Beyond that trio, rookie reserves Equanimeous St. Brown and J'Mon Moore shouldn't…read more

Likely to play Week 9

Cobb (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Despite returning from a three-game absence to play 24 offensive snaps in the Week 8 loss to the Rams, Cobb's practice reps were limited Wednesday and Thursday while he continued to manage the hamstring injury. He was able to put in a full practice Friday, however, which will likely be enough for the Packers to clear him to play. Green Bay has since ruled Geronimo Allison (hamstring/groin) out for Week 9, so Cobb should see an increased workload in three-wideout sets along with Marquez…read more

Logs full practice but still questionable

Cobb (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Cobb followed the same practice schedule last week, logging two limited practices and one full session prior to catching four of five targets for 40 yards in a 29-27 loss to the Rams. He only played 46 percent of snaps on offense in that contest, but he should get more playing time Week 9 with Geronimo Allison (hamstring) listed as doubtful.

Puts in limited practice Wednesday

Cobb (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: In his return from a three-game absence in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Rams, Cobb ranked fourth in offensive snaps (24 of 52) among Packers wideouts, trailing Davante Adams (40), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (31) and Geronimo Allison (30). Cobb parlayed that usage into four catches (on five targets) for 40 yards. If he's able to increase his workload and suit up Week 9 in New England, he could take advantage of a Patriots pass defense that ranks 27th in the league (277.3 yards per game) this season.

Snags four passes in return

Cobb caught four passes for 40 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Cobb suited up Sunday for the first time since Week 3 and was eased back into action, as he was on the field for just 46 percent of the snaps. He played at least 86 percent of the snaps that occurred in the first three games of the season he suited up for, but in his absence Marquez Valdes-Scantling emerged as a viable option, and he played ahead of Cobb on Sunday, totaling 31 snaps to Cobb's 24. Valdes-Scantling has not officially passed Cobb on the depth chart, but at the least, Cobb's…read more

Playing first game since Week 3

Cobb (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb will suit up for the first time since Sept. 23 after practicing throughout the week and advancing to full participation Friday. It's expected that Cobb will fill his usual role in the slot while Geronimo Allison joins Davante Adams out wide in three-receiver formations, resulting in fewer snaps to go around for rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who had taken on a heightened role while Cobb was out. Through the Packers' first three games of the season, Cobb corralled 17 of 27 targets for 194…read more

Likely to play in Week 8

Cobb (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Rapoport's report backs up coach Mike McCarthy's comments a few days ago suggesting that Cobb would return to the fold after missing the Packers' last three games with the hamstring issue. Cobb validated optimism about his health by practicing in full capacity Friday, so he should reclaim a starting role in the slot if he incurs no setbacks leading up to game time. The imminent returns of Cobb and Geronimo Allison from injury means that rookies Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown…read more

Listed as questionable after full practice

Cobb (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Despite the official designation, Cobb's ability to make it through a full practice supports coach Mike McCarthy's stated expectation that the veteran slot receiver will return. With Geronimo Allison cleared from the final injury report, Aaron Rodgers will have his full complement of pass-catching weapons for the first time since Week 3. Cobb draws a tricky matchup against Rams slot corner Nickell Robey-Coleman.

In line to play Sunday

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Cobb (hamstring) is "on course to play" in Sunday's game against the Rams.

Analysis: Cobb was limited in Wednesday's practice, but head coach McCarthy appears to have liked what he saw out of the wideout during the session. Cobb still has some work to do before he is fully cleared, but McCarthy has very little doubt surrounding the status of Cobb and fellow wideout Geronimo Allison (hamstring). Expect Cobb's status for this weekend to be confirmed in the next day or two.

Remains limited at practice

Cobb (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: It's been exactly one month since Cobb last logged any game action, the result of a lingering hamstring injury. Until he progresses to a full session, his availability will be difficult to peg down, as he often was listed as limited in injury reports prior to the Packers' Week 7 bye. If he's absent again for Sunday's road game against the Rams, Cobb likely would yield snaps to the trio of rookie wideouts (Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and J'Mon Moore) on the roster.

Practicing Tuesday

Cobb (hamstring) is participating in Tuesday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: Since the Packers are coming off a bye week, the team will have an informal session Tuesday before providing its first official practice report of Week 8 on Wednesday. It appears promising that Cobb will be listed as a limited or full participant to begin the week, which bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Rams in Los Angeles. Cobb has missed the Packers' last three games with the hamstring injury, which has temporarily opened up a starting role for rookie…read more

Officially inactive Monday

Cobb (hamstring) is listed as inactive Monday against the 49ers, Jason Wahlers of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: With a Week 7 bye upcoming for the Packers, Cobb and Geronimo Allison will be held out as a result of their respective hamstring injuries. For the second consecutive game, Aaron Rodgers will be working with Davante Adams and a trio of rookie wide receivers (Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown and J'Mon Moore).

Reportedly inactive Monday

Cobb (hamstring) will be inactive Monday night against the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb won't officially be deemed inactive until the Packers release their list of scratches for Monday's contest, but it was reported earlier Monday that Cobb was not expected to play, and this report brings that closer to fruition. Fellow receiver Geronimo Allison (hamstring) will also be inactive Monday, which puts Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown in line to start alongside top wideout Davante Adams.

Expected to sit out Monday

Cobb (hamstring) likely will be inactive for Monday's game against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Likewise for Geronimo Allison (hamstring). With a bye Week 7, the Packers seemingly want to be healthy on the other side, hence the reason caution is expected to be exercised. If both Cobb and Allison are absent, it sets up a similar receiving corps to a week ago, when Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown and J'Mon Moore joined No. 1 wideout Davante Adams as those available to Aaron Rodgers.

Game-time decision Monday

Cobb (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the 49ers, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb was limited once again at Saturday's practice and considered a game-time decision Monday. He has been sidelined the last two weeks, but has voiced optimism regarding his chances to return for Week 6. Unfortunately, the timing of the game makes it a tricky situation for fantasy owners. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown could once again be in for big workloads if either or both of Cobb and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) are once again sidelined.

Practices on limited basis

Cobb (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.

Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy said Cobb would work with the rehab group, but the slot receiver also donned pads for at least a portion of Friday's practice, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Speaking after the session, Cobb said he hopes to return for Monday's game against the 49ers while also acknowledging that he won't have a better idea until Sunday. The timing of Green Bay's Week 6 contest makes it a tricky situation for fantasy owners, particularly with Geronimo Allison (hamstring) also still limited at…read more

Working with rehab group Friday

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Cobb (hamstring) will work with the Packers' rehab group Friday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: McCarthy said the same thing prior to Thursday's practice and Cobb was still able to get in a limited session, so it remains to be seen what level he will participate at Friday. Any participation at all would move Cobb closer to returning to action Monday against the 49ers.

Limited Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Prior to Thursday's session, coach Mike McCarthy told Demovsky that Cobb was slated for the rehab group, but the wideout must have participated in at least a handful of individual drills to get a limited designation. With two practices remaining to prepare for a Monday night affair against the 49ers, Cobb is putting himself on a path to active status for the first time since Week 3. Fellow wideout Geronimo Allison has emerged from the concussion protocol, but a hamstring injury continues to…read more

Won't practice Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) will be limited to working out with the Packers' rehab group during Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb is thus expected to be listed as a non-participant when the Packers release their first practice report of Week 6. The wideout relayed earlier in the week that he was hopeful to return from a two-game absence to suit up Monday against the 49ers, but he'll need to take part in practice in some capacity either of the next two days to have a legitimate chance of playing. If Green Bay is without Cobb for another week, his absence would be cushioned to some degree by the likely return of fellow…read more

Hoping for Week 6 return

Cobb (hamstring) is hoping to return to action in Week 6 against the 49ers, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Cobb told Dales that he "really wanted to play" Sunday against the Lions, but his injury simply did not allow him to. Cobb did not practice at all leading up to the Lions game, so he will likely have to get in some work on the practice field in order to return to action in Week 6. Those with Cobb on their fantasy squads will be hoping for a final decision on his availability prior to game day, as the Packers and 49ers will not take the field until Monday night.

Out again this week

Coach Mike McCarthy said that Cobb (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Lions.

Analysis: Cobb was unable to practice this week, so he'll miss his second game in a row as a result. Fellow receivers Davante Adams (calf) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) are also uncertain to suit up this week, so it remains to be seen exactly how the Packers' depth chart at wideout will shake out for Week 5. Cobb's absence for an additional game at least assures Marquez Valdes-Scantling another turn in the starting lineup.

No practice again Thursday

Cobb (hamstring) didn't take part in practice Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: The Packers receiving corps is banged up, to say the least, at the moment. Cobb's hamstring injury has kept him in the rehab group for the better part of a week, and Davante Adams joined him Thursday as he tends to a calf concern. Meanwhile, No. 3 wide receiver Geronimo Allison is embedded in the concussion protocol and has displayed no progress yet this week. One practice remains for any of the trio to show that an appearance is possible Sunday at Detroit, but rookie wideouts Marquez…read more

Limited to rehab work Thursday

Coach Mike McCarthy said Cobb (hamstring) would work out on the side with the Packers' other injured players during Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb will be joined in the rehab group by Davante Adams, who sustained a calf injury during Wednesday's session. It's expected that both players will go down as non-participants on Thursday's practice report, with fellow wideout Geronimo Allison also expected to receive the same listing while he remains in the concussion protocol. The availability of all three players looks to be in serious question for Sunday's matchup with the Lions, which could force the Packers to lean heavily on rookie…read more

Still not practicing

Cobb (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Contained to the rehab group, Cobb hasn't practiced for nearly a week as he tends to a hamstring injury. On Monday, he told Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he "wouldn't have been able to play" Sunday against the Bills because he "couldn't be out there running at full speed." Until Cobb feels well enough to partake in individual drills, rehabilitation likely will be his focus. His absence Week 4 allowed rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling to start alongside Davante Adams (calf -…read more

Working on side field

Coach Mike McCarthy said that Cobb (hamstring) would work out with the Packers' other injured players on a side field at practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: That likely means that Cobb will go down as a non-participant in the Packers' first session of Week 5. Geronimo Allison benefited from an expanded role in the Packers' passing attack while Cobb was sidelined for the Week 4 win over the Bills, but Allison exited the contest after sustaining a concussion. Allison won't participate in practice Wednesday, leaving both him and Cobb at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Lions if neither is able to demonstrate meaningful progress in the next…read more

Status remains in question

Cobb (hamstring) wasn't held out as a precaution during Sunday's 22-0 win against the Bills, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "I wouldn't have been able to play this week," Cobb said Monday. "As much as I would've wanted to, I couldn't be out there running at full speed. So it's no reason to take that risk."

Analysis: Cobb made a sudden appearance on the injury report last Thursday as a limited participant, was listed as a non-participant Friday and eventually ruled out when the Packers released their inactive list Sunday morning. His hamstring was to blame, but the severity of the injury was unclear until Cobb spoke with the media Monday. Coach Mike McCarthy also touched on Cobb's healthy, saying the Packers will "see where he is on Wednesday, see how he moves around." Consequently, fantasy owners should…read more

Inactive against Buffalo

Cobb (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb was a limited participant in practice Thursday and a non-participant Friday. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the leading candidates to take on extra snaps with Cobb out.

Looking shaky for Week 4

Cobb (hamstring) was held out of practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: A mid-week addition to the injury report, Cobb was a limited participant Thursday and a non-participant Friday. Coach Mike McCarthy discussed the situation Friday morning, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding Cobb's availability for Week 4. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the leading candidates to take on extra snaps and targets if Cobb lands on the inactive list prior to Sunday's 1 PM ET kickoff.

Week 4 status uncertain

When asked about Cobb's hamstring injury Friday morning, head coach Mike McCarthy said, "We'll see what today brings. It's unfortunate, but we'll see how it goes," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

Analysis: Cobb showed up on Thursday's injury report with the hamstring injury, and McCarthy's comments indicate it could be more than just some simple soreness. What exactly that means in regards to Cobb's Week 4 availability is uncertain, but those hoping to include him in this week's lineups will want to keep tabs on his status.

Limited by hamstring Thursday

Cobb was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Cobb is making his first appearance on the injury report this season, but his ability to take part in individual drills indicates he's dealing with a minor concern. Still, his status will be one to monitor as the Packers prepare for Sunday's game against the Bills, who have given up 256.7 passing yards per game to date in 2018.

Rough day at the office

Despite being targeted 11 times, Cobb caught just four passes for 23 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's loss to the Redskins.

Analysis: Cobb had a rough day at the office, finishing with his lowest yardage total of the season while dropping a couple passes and having the ball ripped away from him late in the fourth quarter. He has totaled just 53 yards through the air since putting up 142 yards in Week 1, but he did see 17 looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers over that span, so he has not been erased from the game plan by any means, even with fellow wideout Geronimo Allison emerging. As long as Rodgers keeps looking his way…read more

Held in check

Cobb caught four passes for 30 yards in Sunday's tie with the Vikings.

Analysis: Cobb exploded for 142 yards and a score in Week 1, but he was unable to come close to matching those numbers in the second game of the season. He presumably remains the No. 2 option at the wide receiver position for the Packers, but with Jimmy Graham and Geronimo Allison producing and Davante Adams locked in as the team's No. 1 receiver, there will be games like Sunday's -- he finished fourth on the team in receptions and yards and tied for third in targets -- where he finds himself lower on…read more

Holding onto punt return duties

Cobb will continue serving as the Packers' top punt returner, Zach Kruse of The Packers Wire reports.

Analysis: Fellow receiver Trevor Davis was in line to serve as the Packers' top return man, but he injured his hamstring prior to the season opener and landed on injured reserve, so Cobb filled in for Davis in Week 1, and will continue doing so for the time being. This won't affect Cobb's fantasy value much, but it does give him a slight boost in leagues that count return touchdowns for the player instead of in addition to the team defense, and/or those that score return yardage.

Logs go-ahead touchdown in thrilling comeback

Cobb secured nine of 10 targets for 142 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 24-23 victory over the Bears.

Analysis: Talk of Cobb being a potential cap casualty this offseason seems silly now after the receiver proved instrumental in helping quarterback Aaron Rodgers successfully overcome a 17-0 halftime deficit, most notably turning a 10-yard pass into a 75-yard go-ahead touchdown with just over two minutes remaining in regulation. He even saw more looks than Davante Adams, who was targeted eight times on the night. It's unlikely Cobb will continue to see this kind of workload on a game-by-game basis, but…read more

Enters season as No. 2 receiver

Cobb enters the season as the Packers' No. 2 receiver behind Davante Adams despite rumors that he was on the trade block in August.

Analysis: The Packers were very careful with the members of their first-team offense this preseason, which left Cobb with only a small handful of snaps along the way. After a delayed start to training camp following surgery to remove cartilage from his right ankle, Cobb appears to be healthy as Green Bay's Week 1 matchup with Chicago draws closer, but it will be interesting to see if that issue resurfaces and limits his availability or productivity as the season progresses.

Can't come up with sole target

Cobb (ankle) failed to come up with his only target in the Packers' 51-34 preseason win over the Steelers on Thursday.

Analysis: The good news was that the veteran made his preseason debut, although he wasn't in for long. Cobb's sole target came on the Packers' first offensive possession, when Aaron Rodgers attempted to hit him with a short pass on the right side of the field. His first taste of game action out of the way, he'll look to up his playing time and production in the Packers' "dress rehearsal" game versus the Raiders a week from Friday.

In uniform Thursday

Cobb (ankle) is suited up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Cobb got a delayed start to training camp due to his recovery from surgery in mid-June to remove cartilage from his right ankle. He subsequently missed the Packers' preseason opener, but he may have increased his practice reps enough in the intervening week to join Aaron Rodgers for his (likely) sole series Thursday.

Practicing Sunday

Cobb (ankle) took the practice field in pads Sunday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: The activity marks Cobb's first in nearly a week due to recurring issues with the right ankle that required surgery after the offseason program. There's no telling how much work he'll fit in Sunday, but he's seemingly on track to make an appearance in the Packers' second preseason game Thursday versus the Steelers.

Sits out preseason opener

Cobb (ankle) did not play in Thursday's preseason opener.

Analysis: Cobb has dealt with a nagging ankle injury of late, so it probably was not too hard a decision to hold him out of Thursday's contest. Cobb is still expected to be ready for Week 1, and will be in the starting lineup as long as he is available.

Misses another practice

Cobb (ankle) was held out of Tuesday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: Cobb has been in and out of practice throughout training camp in an attempt to limit soreness in the ankle that required mid-June surgery to remove cartilage. He'll presumably be held out of Thursday's exhibition opener against the Titans, but he could still make an appearance at some point during the preseason.

Takes part in practice

Cobb (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Analysis: After the Packers' Family Night scrimmage Saturday, Cobb told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that he didn't suit up because the team is "just managing soreness right now" and "it's not a big concern." Cobb is alluding to the ankle that needed surgery to remove cartilage and required a walking boot in the immediate aftermath. On Monday, he took reps on the JUGS machine, left the field for a brief spell, and later caught passes from Aaron Rodgers, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.…read more

Managing ankle issue

Cobb is downplaying a right ankle issue that led to him sitting out Saturday's practice, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports. "We're just managing the soreness right now, but it's not a big [concern]," Cobb noted afterward.

Analysis: Though the wideout isn't overly concerned about the issue, it's worth noting that Cobb had a procedure on the same ankle earlier this summer in order to remove cartilage. Once he's back on the field, Cobb will continue to see first-team reps along with Davante Adams, an arrangement cemented by the offseason departure of Jordy Nelson.

Offseason surgery not invasive

Cobb, who underwent surgery six weeks ago, did not require an invasive procedure and simply needed nagging cartilage removed from his ankle, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

Analysis: Cobb was seen sporting a walking boot in airport last month, raising concern over the receiver's health status in advance of training camp. However, it sounds like the issue was never anything serious, or that has the potential to resurface later in this year. With procedure behind him, Cobb has been practicing with the first-team offense during the opening days of training camp, and that's highly unlikely to change anytime soon.

Earns first-team reps

Cobb (foot) practiced with the first-team offense Thursday, Michael Cohen of The Athletic Wisconsin reports.

Analysis: In late June, Cobb was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot, spurring speculation about his health. Neither the player nor team elaborated on the nature of the injury, and his presence on the practice field to start training camp seems to have alleviated any prior concerns. Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com further relayed that Cobb was running at full capacity Thursday, so he can safely settle into the No. 2 wide receiver gig bequeathed to him when the Packers released Jordy Nelson in March.

Cobb (foot) was spotted without a walking boot during his annual youth football camp Wednesday, Chris Roth of WBAY Green Bay reports.

Analysis: Cobb, who was originally spotted in a walking boot at an airport last month, was seen demonstrating agility and footwork drills without a noticeable limp. When asked about his availability for training camp, the receiver indicated that he'll be "involved" even if the Packers' medical team doesn't fully clear him for all activities. While the nature of this injury remains a mystery, Cobb said Wednesday that "he'll get into that here soon when training camp rolls around." Green Bay requires…read more

Plans to practice soon

Cobb (foot) plans to be involved during training camp and isn't sure if he will have any restrictions, Chris Barriere of NBC 26 Green Bay reports.

Analysis: Spotted in a walking boot after June minicamp, Cobb hasn't elaborated on the nature of his injury. He wasn't wearing the boot at his annual football camp Wednesday, and he said he'll talk to the Packers' medical staff to formulate a plan for training camp. There doesn't seem to be much concern regarding Cobb's availability for Week 1, but it won't come as any surprise if he's eased into practice over the next few weeks. The veteran slot receiver will turn 28 in August and is looking to rebound…read more

Spotted in walking boot

Cobb has a walking boot on his right foot and may be eased into training camp, but there's no concern about his Week 1 availability, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Cobb, who apparently suffered an ankle/foot injury, declined to say if he underwent surgery. Some missed time in training camp wouldn't be a big deal for the eighth-year pro, but it'll be worth watching closely if he doesn't make it back for the preseason. With Jordy Nelson swapped out for TE Jimmy Graham this offseason, Cobb is left as the clear No. 2 wide receiver, giving him a chance to venture back into triple-digit targets for the first time since 2015. His two lowest marks for yards per…read more

Cobb likely is part of the Packers' plans for 2018 after the team released Jordy Nelson on Tuesday, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

Analysis: Seeking cap space to sign Jimmy Graham, the Packers unsurprisingly stuck with 27-year-old Cobb over 32-year-old Nelson. The veteran slot receiver hasn't sniffed the 1,000-yard mark since signing a four-year, $40 million contract in 2015, but he's maintained a catch rate in the 70-percent range while showing flashes of his top form. There's still potential for another big season if Cobb and Aaron Rodgers can actually stay healthy at the same time for an extended period.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst hinted at a preference for keeping Cobb with the team, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Analysis: Once viewed as an elite slot receiver, Cobb is coming off back-to-back seasons with less than 700 receiving yards and four touchdown while entering the final year of his contract carrying a non-guaranteed base salary of $8.6 million. With Davante Adams recently signed to a four-year extension, the Packers may be hoping that Cobb and/or Jordy Nelson will renegotiate contracts that seemed rather team-friendly not so long ago. Cobb's recent production doesn't mesh with his 2018 salary, but there's…read more

Cobb nabbed four of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-11 loss to Detroit. He added a four-yard run during the contest.

Analysis: On fourth and five early in the fourth quarter, Cobb crossed over the middle, snagged a Brett Hundley pass, and cut up field for a 17-yard score -- Green Bay's first in two weeks. 2017 was another ho-hum year for Cobb, but he ended the season strong with two touchdowns in his last three games. It'll be interesting to see what Green Bay does with Cobb following its big contract with Davante Adams. Cobb carries a $12.75-million cap hit in 2018 and a $3.25 million dead-cap figure if he's cut…read more

Cobb caught four of seven targets for 22 yards Saturday against the Vikings. He also lost six yards on his lone carry of the 16-0 defeat.

Analysis: With Davante Adams (concussion) and Jordy Nelson (shoulder) both out of commission, Cobb was the lone experienced wideout going for Green Bay. That did earn him some attention from Xavier Rhodes on the other side, however, and Brett Hundley's continued ineptitude under center contributed to this lackluster performance as well. Cobb could once again be the main man in the passing game next week against the Lions, but the state of the team's offense and a potential date with Darius Slay make him…read more

Cobb may pick up extra snaps and targets with Davante Adams (concussion) ruled out for Saturday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Analysis: It's likely that Adams' 8.3 targets per game will be divvied up among a committee of players including fellow starting wideouts Cobb and Jordy Nelson, but the fantasy ceilings of all the Packers' pass-catching options may remain limited nonetheless with Brett Hundley set to reclaim the starting role at quarterback in place of two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers (collarbone), who was moved back to injured reserve following a Week 15 cameo against the Panthers. When Rodgers exited in the first quarter of…read more

Cobb brought in seven of 14 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: Cobb was one of several Packers pass catchers to benefit from Aaron Rodgers' return to action from a broken collarbone, as he posted his best yardage total since the season opener against the Seahawks. The seven-year veteran saw a season-high target total as well, while his touchdown was his second in the last four games. With Rodgers back in the fold and apparently firing on all cylinders, Cobb could play a pivotal role in the passing attack once again when the Packers face off with the…read more

Cobb caught all eight of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win in Cleveland.

Analysis: After going without a target the previous week, Cobb finished second to only Davante Adams (14) on Sunday but was forced to settle for short gains besides one 16-yard pickup. Yet to top 60 yards with Brett Hundley under center, Cobb would get a boost if Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) were to return for Week 15 in Carolina. Cobb averaged 5.8 catches for 54.5 yards on 7.8 targets in the four games they played together earlier this year.

Cobb was not targeted in Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Cobb was on the field for 41 of the Packers' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, but that did not amount to much more than a good workout, as none of the 22 passes quarterback Brett Hundley threw went in his direction. The Packers face the winless Browns next week, but that is not necessarily a recipe for a bounce back for Cobb, as Cleveland is allowing the ninth fewest points per game to opposing wide receivers since Week 7. It will be tough to trust Cobb as a…read more

Cobb caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

Analysis: Cobb got loose for a 39-yard touchdown on what appeared to be a busted coverage in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, which paved the way for his most productive outing of the season in standard-scoring leagues. Sunday's output, which included his first score since Week 3, is going to make him an appealing option to include in Week 13 lineups against a Buccaneers defense that has been routinely shredded by opposing receivers, particularly with the Packers' passing game showing signs of…read more

Cobb had three receptions for 34 yards and one carry for no yards in Sunday's 23-0 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: Cobb's season got off to a quick start as he put up 199 total yards and a touchdown while being targeted 26 times over his first three games, but he has been quiet ever since, tallying just 225 yards and no scores while being targeted 27 times over the previous six contests -- four which were started by backup quarterback Brett Hundley. Cobb's production seems unlikely to change much as long as starting QB Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) remains sidelined, so it's going to be tough for those pushing…read more

Cobb caught three of four targets for 52 yards and added eight yards on four carries during Sunday's 23-16 win over Chicago.

Analysis: Cobb was pushed into some rushing duty after injuries to both Aaron Jones and Ty Montgomery. Depending on the duo's health moving forward, more Cobb in the backfield might be a useful way to get the shifty playmaker a few more touches in space. Cobb has never really gotten going this season but has struggled, especially with Brett Hundley under center. Cobb was averaging 5.75 catches and 54.5 yards per game in the four full games he had with Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) at quarterback. He has…read more
