GREEN BAY - Randall Cobb caught the ball with his back to the end zone. As he turned, scoring on the Los Angles Rams in Week 12, linebacker Troy Reeder laid a hit on Cobb’s side, attempting to knock him out of the end zone. It didn’t work, but the damage was done.
Talking about the injury Thursday for the first time since it occurred, Cobb shared he felt something “pop or tear” on the hit. Teammates Allen Lazard and Davante Adams bared down in celebration soon after, knocking Cobb back and forth, unknowingly worsening what would later be labeled a core muscle injury.
