Allen Lazard answers the call to help replace injured Randall Cobb in the slot

GREEN BAY - When Randall Cobb was brought home to Green Bay, it was as a comfort blanket for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A veteran presence downfield who had an established chemistry with Rodgers to help Matt LaFleur’s offense hum. He was doing just that before being placed on injured reserve Saturday with a core muscle injury.

The Packers had a number of receivers who could have stepped up to take extra snaps in Sunday’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, ranging from Equanimeous St. Brown to the player drafted for the slot role, rookie Amari Rodgers.

Davante Adams motioned inside at times, typically on third down, as the Packers defeated the Bears 45-30.
