The Packers are "strongly considering" removing Randall Cobb from kickoff and punt returns in 2013.
Coach Mike McCarthy hinted at this in February. Cobb led the NFL in all-purpose yards last season, but he'll be Green Bay's featured passing-game weapon inside the numbers with Greg Jennings gone to Minnesota. "I really don’t think I’ve peaked yet," Cobb said. "I’m 22 years old. I’ve got a lot of learning still to do. I have a long way to go and I just hope I continue to get better." May 15 - 4:28 PM

Coach Mike McCarthy "hopes" Randall Cobb won't be playing special teams in 2013.

Cobb is set to take over the starting slot receiver spot with free agent Greg Jennings moving on, and the Packers want to be careful not to expose him to extra hits in the return game. Fellow receiver Jeremy Ross could be the early favorite to replace Cobb on returns. This will help Cobb's fantasy value.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Fox Sports Wisconsin says there's a "100 percent chance" Randall Cobb is in the starting lineup in 2013.

It's not unexpected news, but serves to confirm what we already knew was going to be the case. Cobb "started" just eight games in 2012 and exploded onto the scene. With Greg Jennings on his way out of town, Cobb will have the slot all to himself with Jordy Nelson and James Jones on the outside. He's a shoo-in WR2 in fantasy drafts, while he checks in as our own Evan Silva's No. 29 overall player in his post-season top 150.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb rushed twice for 23 yards and caught five passes for 24 yards as the Packers fell to the 49ers in the Divisional Round.

Cobb aligned often as a single-setback riding sidesaddle with Aaron Rodgers in the shotgun. His long gain went for 19 in the third quarter on a traditional handoff. Cobb did not generate any big plays in the passing game, however. Cobb is still just 22 years old, and he'll likely have the slot all to himself in Green Bay's 2013 offense with free agent Greg Jennings expected to depart. Cobb will be a WR2 to target in fantasy drafts next season.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (illness) is listed as probable for the Divisional Round.

He'll be all systems go against the 49ers. While Cobb was quiet in the Wild Card Round, he's likely to have a more significant role on Saturday night as perhaps Aaron Rodgers' go-to guy in a matchup with Carlos Rogers in the slot.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (illness) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

"Randall Cobb is still under the weather, but he's going to go," said coach Mike McCarthy. "I don't have any doubt about that." Cobb figures to be close to 100 percent for Saturday's Divisional Round game in San Francisco. When these two teams squared off in Week 1, he caught nine passes for 77 yards and returned a punt 75 yards for a score. His matchup with Niners slot corner Carlos Rogers is one the Packers figure to attack.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Updating an earlier item, Randall Cobb missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

In other words, his absence after practicing on Tuesday is officially a non-issue. Now nearly three weeks removed from tweaking his knee and ankle, Cobb should be near 100 percent against the 49ers. That's good news with Jordy Nelson (knee) appearing to be at far less than 100 percent.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb was held out of Packers practice Wednesday.

It's a mild concern, as Cobb did practice on Tuesday. It's unknown what's holding him out, but beat writer Tom Silverstein believes it could be a case of the flu. Regardless, we still fully expect Cobb to suit up against the 49ers in Saturday's Divisional Round game.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb caught one pass for seven yards and rushed twice for six yards in Green Bay's Wild Card win.

Cobb played slot receiver and lined up in the backfield on a handful of change-up plays. The Packers were led in receiving by running back DuJuan Harris in the blowout victory, so with hindsight we know it's not surprising the wideouts and tight ends had scant box-score production. Cobb can expect to match up early and often with 49ers slot corner Carlos Rodgers in the Divisional Round.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (ankle) is listed as probable for the Wild Card Round.

Jordy Nelson (knee) is also probable against the Vikings, as Aaron Rodgers' full arsenal returns. Cobb paced Green Bay in regular season catches (80) and receiving yards (954) and projects to spend most of Saturday night's game in the coverage of Vikings slot CB Antoine Winfield, who has a broken hand.

Randall Cobb (ankle) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice.

Cobb is fully expected to play Saturday night. The only question is whether he will reclaim his kick return role or share it with Jeremy Ross. It looks like the Packers will have all hands on deck in the passing game.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday.

As were Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley, and James Starks. Cobb has already insisted that there is a "100 percent" chance that he plays on Saturday night after being inactive for the regular season finale. We wouldn't bet against him. He'll be out there.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (ankle, knee) appeared to be "full go" in Tuesday's practice.

The Packers aren't required to release an injury report until Wednesday, but beat writers noted that Cobb looked good. The breakout star has declared himself "100 percent" ready for Saturday's game versus the Vikings.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (ankle, knee) insists there is a "100 percent" chance he will return to face the Vikings in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs Saturday night.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Cobb was "close" to playing in Week 17, but the Metrodome's slippery surface played a part in the decision to hold him out. Although McCarthy has been steadfast about sticking with Cobb as his kick returner, Jeremy Ross' impressive performance has him reconsidering. The Packers won't make a decision on that role until later in the week. After Greg Jenning's breakout game, it's anyone's guess who will be the odd receiver out in three-wide sets with Cobb returning this week.

Randall Cobb - WR - Packers

Randall Cobb (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale at Minnesota, as expected.

Cobb returned to a limited practice Friday, but the Packers aren't going to risk an aggravation for a player who has become arguably the most valuable on the team behind Aaron Rodgers. With Jordy Nelson returning, Rodgers still has an impressive arsenal of weapons in the passing game. The rest of Green Bay's inactives: DB Charles Woodson, CB Davon House, RB James Starks, LB Terrell Manning, WR Donald Driver, and DT Jordan Miller.
