Houston Texans 2021 player profile: WR Randall Cobb Randall Cobb provides the Houston Texans with a slot threat. How will Cobb perform with the uncertainty at quarterback?
Should have guaranteed role in 2021 Cobb enters offseason training as one of three returning members of the 2020 wideout group.
Impact Cobb joins Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee as the primary incumbent wide receivers for the Texans, who brought in several veterans and rookie third-rounder Nico Collins to compete for jobs in what is expected to be an overhauled passing offense in 2021. For starters, quarterback Deshaun Watson may not be around due to his desire to be traded and off-field legal entanglements. They also let Will Fuller walk in free agency, leaving Cooks and Cobb as players with assured roles. While Cooks can work outside and inside, Cobb is a slot receiver, where the less experienced Coutee could cut into some of his reps. Still, Cobb has a large dead-cap hit ($10.3 million) if Houston makes him a post-June 1 cut, so it likely behooves the team to keep him around and involved with so much invested in the 10-year pro.

Texans take step back with embarrassing loss to Bears
The Texans took a step back on Sunday with an embarrassing 36-7 loss to the BearsDECEMBER 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Unlikely to return this season Interim coach Romeo Crennel said Monday that there is "a good possibility" Cobb (toe) will not return in 2020, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The 30-year-old was placed on IR shortly after injuring his toe Week 11, and Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports that the veteran slot man could require offseason surgery. If it's indeed deemed that Cobb isn't fit to return for the Texans' final three games, Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen will continue seeing increased playing time. Cobb is under contract with the Texans for 2021, after which point the team has a potential out that would leave them with only $2 million in dead money against the cap.

Contemplates not returning Cobb (toe) awaits further medical information and is considering not playing again in 2020, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb remains in a medical boot for the injured toe suffered Week 11 against New England and is evaluating whether it makes sense for him to play again. The receiver awaits a doctor's recommendation, due next week, whether Cobb should undergo surgery, allow it to heal without surgery and not play again this season, or rehabilitate the toe and attempt to play. If Cobb opts to play again, Keke Coutee and Chad Hansen would be the primary beneficiaries.

Lands on IR The Titans placed Cobb (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Cobb's move to IR officially rules him out for at least three games. Along with Cobb, the Texans will also be without Kenny Stills (quadriceps) for Thursday's game against the Lions, so look for Keke Coutee to see an uptick in playing time as the Texans' No. 3 receiver behind Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks.

Wants second opinion Cobb (toe) is seeking a second medical opinion, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Lions, but he's not accepting the initial diagnosis of a season-ending injury until he hears from a second doctor. Cobb was injured early in Sunday's win over New England and replaced by Keke Coutee, who caught his first touchdown of the season.

Could hit IR Cobb (toe) is in danger of being placed on injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb is expected to miss at least Thursday's game against the Lions due to the severity of his toe issue, and being placed on IR would rule him out for a minimum of two additional weeks. An absence of any length for the veteran slot man could open up additional playing time for Keke Coutee, who scored his first TD of the season during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.

Expected to sit Week 12 Cobb (toe) is expected to sit out Thursday's game against the Lions, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Cobb had an MRI on his injured toe Sunday, and the results suggest the veteran slot receiver will likely miss his team's Week 12 tilt. Keke Coutee, who scored a touchdown after Cobb's departure in Sunday's win over the Patriots, will fill in for Cobb in the slot. Fellow Texans wideout Kenny Stills (quadriceps) got more encouraging news, as he hasn't been ruled out for his team's Thanksgiving Day tilt.
