GREEN BAY — It’s been almost exactly one year since Randall Cobb was forced to watch the Packers’ NFC Divisional playoff loss to the Arizona Cardinals from a hospital bed.
Cobb, who had suffered a punctured lung in the first quarter of the game, was transferred from the University of Phoenix Stadium for observation. Meanwhile, the Packers were down to their last three healthy receivers and all he could do was cheer from afar.
There was a chance a similar scenario could have played out during Sunday’s NFC Wild Card playoff game against the New York Giants.
