Packers WR Out 2-4 Weeks

Great news for him, as he looks like he's avoided a more serious injury.

Green Bay Packers veteran wide receiver Randal Cobb was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after exiting Sunday's loss to the New York Jets and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks.

Though Cobb will end up missing time due to the ankle issue, the veteran wideout at least avoided a longer-term setback than initially feared when he was carted from the game on Sunday. 

Losing Cobb for the next little while weakens the Packers' offense even more, as the team already has Sammy Watkins on the injured reserve and Christian Watson also injured at the moment. Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers could see some increased usage behind Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs. 

Cobb has 18 catches on 26 targets for 257 yards through six games this season.
