Green Bay Packers Randall Cobb to Return for Divisional Game
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The last two times the Green Bay Packers were in the playoffs, Randall Cobb had to watch from his couch.
The Packers had moved on from the receiver after the 2018 season, and he spent the next two years with non-playoff teams Dallas in 2019 and Houston in 2020.
When he tore multiple muscles in his abdomen as he caught a touchdown pass 12 weeks into his return to Green Bay this season, he was determined not to be a spectator again. Sure enough, Cobb is expected to return for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling was listed as doubtful because of the back injury he suffered in the regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions. He practiced on Tuesday but then was a nonparticipant the rest of the week.
When left tackle David Bakhtiari played the first 27 snaps of the Week 18 game against the Lions, it was believed to be a precursor to him playing full time when the playoffs started. That might not be a sure thing. Bakhtiari practiced only one day this week -- the middle of three practices -- and was listed as questionable.
