Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb left Saturday night’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with a chest injury. He was initially questionable to return before being ruled out for the rest of the game.
Cobb appeared to injure himself while making an amazing one-handed catch, which was ultimately nullified by offsetting penalties. The Packers got flagged for an illegal shift, while Arizona had 12 men on the field. Cobb was carted off the field and taken to the locker room for X-rays.
It’s been a bit of an underwhelming season for Cobb, who was expected to take up the mantle as the new No. 1 receiver after Jordy Nelson tore his ACL in training camp. He finished the regular season with 79 catches for 829 yards and six touchdowns, numbers that are way down from his 2014 total of 91 catches, 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Despite the disappointing season, an injury to Cobb weakens the Packers’ depth chart even further at wide receiver, particularly with Davante Adams inactive. They are currently down to James Jones, Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis as their only healthy wide receivers for this playoff game.
