SATURDAY: As expected, Cobb is now on IR. The Packers made the official transaction, sidelining the veteran slot receiver for at least three games. The team is expecting Cobb to be out longer, aiming for him to return in the postseason.
THURSDAY: The Packers will be without one of their top wideouts for a stretch. Randall Cobb is still dealing with the core injury that caused him to exit the Packers’ Week 12 game against the Rams.
Despite the benefit of Green Bay’s recent bye week, the 11th-year receiver is unlikely to return soon. This may well lead to an IR stay, though the Packers have not yet indicated that will be necessary. 
“Cobb is going to be out for a while,” Matt LaFleur said (via Packers.com’s Wes Hodkiewicz, on Twitter). “He had a pretty significant injury. That’s unfortunate because he’s done such an amazing job when given the opportunity.”
Additionally, Cobb underwent surgery to address the issue during the Packers’ bye week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com notes. The Packers believe the recently reacquired receiver will miss several games. While it is uncertain if Cobb will be shut down for the season, Green Bay has moved the timetable to January. The team hopes Cobb can return for the team’s playoff slate, Demovsky adds.
The 31-year-old was enjoying a productive season in his return to Green Bay. After being drafted by the Packers in the 2011 second round, Cobb had one-year stints with the Cowboys and Texans in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Reunited with Aaron Rodgers this offseason, Cobb had played in all 12 games for the Packers to start his second Green Bay stint. He has posted 28 catches for 375 yards and five touchdowns this season.
In Cobb’s absence, the Packers will likely use a rotation of Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers in the slot moving forward.
Here come the “this is why they shoulda give OBJ 38 million doggycoins. They KNEW Cobb was going to get hurt 3 weeks later!”
Last paragraph is missing MVS. Think most of Cobbs targets may funnel his way
Could be they just assume MVS is used mostly outside. While his hands have improved this year, his main asset is speed/running deep routes. And between he and Adams, 17 is the one I want in the slot.
Fair. I took the last paragraph as listing out the other receivers that will be in the entire rotation and saw his name missing. I can see they may be saying rotation of the slot perhaps.
Manny is right that MVS is unlikely to slide into the slot. If they feel like he’s ready to play more, Amari Rodgers was drafted to be a Cobb type little slot receiver, but judging by his action so far, maybe they don’t want him on the field so much yet.
Has anyone thought to check in on Aaron? First the toe jam, now having to play without his binky. I’m concerned for his mental wellbeing.
Aaron is ok, he’s immunized from such things.
I’m sure knowing you care helps tremendously.
Yes have they chatted with the Biggest Cry Baby in sports to see if it is ok with him? Hopefully Cobb will be back in time to see Aruin throw an incomplete pass to lose the playoffs instead run it In from 3 yards out.
What does LeBron have to do with this?
Best QB in the NFL is a cry-baby according to you. No, perhaps he just won’t accept guff and demands his due.
Love to compare your achievement list against that of Aaron Rodgers.
amari rodgers can barely catch the ball on a punt return, please for the love of god dont give him touches on the offence
