Cobb, 32, sustained an ankle injury and was carted to the locker room during the second half of the Packers’ loss to the New York Jets last Sunday.

He has 18 catches for 257 yards in six games (one start) on the season.

Cobb has 609 receptions for 7,425 yards with 52 touchdowns in 148 career games with the Packers (2011-18, 2021-present), Dallas Cowboys (2019) and Houston Texans (2020).
