The Green Bay Packers officially activated wide receiver Randall Cobb from the injured reserve list on Thursday. This move was expected, as Thursday was the final day of Cobb’s 21-day practice window while on the injured reserve. With Cobb returning to practice on December 30th, there was no more wiggle room for the Packers to wait out the decision to either activate him to the 53-man roster for the playoffs or end his season officially.
Cobb was placed on the injured reserve list in Week 13 after he sustained a core injury that sidelined him in the second half against the Los Angeles Rams.
