Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb recently underwent ankle surgery, NFL Network reported Friday.
The procedure was a cleaning-out and designed to “fix a persisting issue,” according to the report.
Cobb is about to come a free agent and it remains unclear if the Packers will pursue retaining him. It may hinge on whether veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns to Green Bay, as Rodgers lobbied for the team to sign Cobb for a second tour of duty prior to the 2021 campaign.
Cobb, 32, caught 34 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown in 13 games (three starts) last season. He injured the ankle in mid-October and was placed on injured reserve before returning to action in Week 11.
Cobb has 625 receptions for 7,585 yards with 53 touchdowns in 155 career games (87 starts) for the Packers (2011-18, 2021-2022), Dallas Cowboys (2019) and Houston Texans (2020). He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2014 when he set career bests of 91 receptions, 1,287 yards and 12 scoring receptions.
