Before practice started on Thursday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that wide receiver Randall Cobb would be “out for a while” in his pre-practice press conference. This is disappointing news, as Cobb has been one of the more productive receivers in Green Bay this season, specifically on third downs.
LaFleur: “We were talking about just his targets on third down alone, he was eight of ten when he got targeted of converting first downs. And that’s just in the normal field.”
Beyond Cobb, tackle David Bakhtiari, recovering off his second knee surgery, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, resting his fractured pinky toe, were also missing from practice entirely due to injury.
