Major Injury Update Develops After Aaron Rodgers’ Go-To Target WR Randall Cobb Carted Off From the Game Against Jets

The Packers once again had to return to their bases disappointed after losing their Week 6 game against the Jets on Sunday. This was not the only setback they faced, WR Randall Cobb was carted from the field in the third quarter, depleting the receiver corps of Aaron Rodgers even more. Meanwhile, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport provides the latest update on the injury.

With this loss, Rodgers and Co have leveled their season record to 3-3. They could only post 10 against the Jets’ 27 by the end of the final whistle. A huge blow to the team happened in the third quarter when the veteran wideout Randall Cobb incurred an ankle injury. He was taken to the sidelines, and the receiver appeared to get emotional after draping a towel covering his head.

After some checkups from the medic team, he was carted towards the locker room for X Rays and further diagnosis. Initially, it was speculated as a season-ending injury, but after X-Rays, it was confirmed that he suffered an ankle sprain only. Something which Aaron Rodgers spoke about after returning to the locker room. Soon, the NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed this good news to the outside world.

“Dr. Aaron Rodgers is correct. #Packers WR Randall Cobb did not break his ankle, as X-Rays were negative, the source said. He suffered a potential high ankle sprain but will have an MRI to determine the severity.” he tweeted about the incident. However, it is yet to be seen when Cobb will get the clearance to get back to the field. In Sunday’s game, he only had a single catch for eight yards.

When Aaron Rodgers revealed his expectations of Randall Cobb

Although he never connected for a touchdown, in the last five weeks, the wideout caught 17 passes for 249 yards. Cobb is a long-time member of the franchise, who spent ten seasons with the Packers since getting inducted in 2011.

He left for the Cowboys in 2019 but again, returned last year to add more strength to the depth chart. “I think he needs more opportunities for sure. He’s earned them.” Aaron Rodgers spoke in a recent interview about the veteran.

“Big kudos to him, though, you know. He figured out how to get his body back. He’s stayed healthy so far, but he went through the entire offseason program, OTAs, busted his ass, and earned the opportunity he’s gotten and probably more,” he added.

If Cobb is benched for the upcoming games, Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Amari Rodgers, and Samori Toure are the available prospects in the receiver corps. Meanwhile, the rookie Christian Watson was also out due to a hamstring injury. It will be interesting to see how Rodgers moves ahead for his Week 7 game against the Commanders.
