Veteran slot receiver Randall Cobb is back for the Green Bay Packers. The team activated Cobb from injured reserve on Thursday, clearing the way for him to return and play on Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round.
Cobb missed the last five games of the regular season with a core muscle injury. He suffered the injury on Nov. 28 against the Los Angeles Rams, had surgery during the bye week and ultimately went on injured reserve.
The Packers designated Cobb for return on Dec. 30. His three-week practice window ended on Thursday, necessitating his activation to the 53-man roster.
