Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb didn’t break his ankle in Sunday’s loss to the Jets, but he did suffer an injury that will keep him out of action for a while.
Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that the team expects Cobb to miss multiple weeks as a result of the injury, which happened when players rolled into his legs at the end of a play in the third quarter.
“It’s not going to be like a one-week deal or anything like that; I think he’s going to miss some time,” LaFleur said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. “But he definitely avoided a serious injury.”
If the Packers determine Cobb is likely miss at least four games, he’ll likely go on injured reserve until he’s ready to return. Any absence is a blow to an offense still trying to find its footing, although the Packers could get Sammy Watkins back from injured reserve this week to soften some of the blow.
