Undergoes ankle surgery Cobb recently underwent ankle surgery, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Impact The surgery was to "clean out the back of his ankle," according to Rapoport. The 32-year-old Cobb caught 34 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets across 13 games for the Packers last season. He's scheduled to be a free agent later this month. It's unclear at this point if Cobb plans to keep playing in 2023.

Fades during 2022 campaign Cobb was targeted 50 times and caught 34 passes for 417 yards and a touchdown over 13 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Impact Cobb drew more looks than he did in each of the previous two seasons, but due to an ankle injury and some younger receivers on the roster emerging, the 12-year veteran recorded only 25 targets and 168 yards after Week 5. Cobb could return to Green Bay if quarterback Aaron Rodgers does, but if Rodgers goes, Cobb likely will, too.

Catches two passes in Week 17 Cobb was targeted twice and caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-17 victory over the Vikings.
Impact Cobb played nearly 50 percent of the snaps for the fourth time in five weeks, but he drew only two passes in his direction for a second straight game. Assuming the Packers have all their receivers available for next week's regular-season finale against the Lions, he figures to remain in a part-time role.

Records one reception in win Cobb was targeted twice and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Dolphins. He also returned one punt for two yards.
Impact Cobb was credited with a Week 16 start, but he played fewer than half the snaps for a fourth week in a row and saw only two passes thrown his direction. He will have a plus matchup in Week 17 against a Vikings team that allowed wideouts to rack up at least 243 yards four times over the last five weeks, but he totaled jut six receptions, 56 yards and a score over his last four appearances, so his prospects will not be particularly promising unless fellow wideout Christian Watson -- who left Sunday's game with a hip injury -- is unable to go.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers have 'a lot still to play for' — including playoffs?
The Packers are still in the playoff hunt after beating the Rams. Now, not only do they need help and to win out, they must play better.DECEMBER 20, 2022
Retains slot role in win Cobb caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams.
Impact Cobb maintained his slot role despite the return of Romeo Doubs (ankle), garnering four targets for the third consecutive game. Allen Lazard (one catch for seven yards) was the player who took the big hit in usage following the rookie wideout's return. Cobb still doesn't provide enough upside to warrant consideration in standard formats ahead of Sunday's tilt against Miami.

Shut out in Week 13 Cobb was targeted four times but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears. He also returned one punt for 15 yards in the game.
Impact Cobb finished fourth among Packers skill players in targets and third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he was held without a reception for the first time in nine appearances this season. Cobb has had a few fantasy-friendly games this season, but it will be tough for him to have another, as not only will he be behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard when the Packers return from their Week 14 bye, but likely Romeo Doubs (ankle) as well.

Records first 2022 touchdown Cobb was targeted four times and caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Cobb did not do much in the receptions or receiving yards columns, but he did reach the end zone for the first time in eight 2022 appearances. He has finished third in snaps among Packers wideouts in two games since returning from a four-game absence, but he could slip further down the depth chart if Romeo Doubs (ankle) returns in Week 13, as Green Bay could maximize the rookie's snaps with the team's playoff hopes fading fast.

Shakes off illness Cobb (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
Impact For the third day in a row, Cobb's practice reps were capped while he continued to battle the ailment, but he must have shown enough progress as the week went along for the Packers to sign off on him playing Sunday. The fact that Cobb appeared on the Packers' Week 12 injury report with only the illness attached to his name is at least a sign that he avoided any setbacks with his right ankle in his return to action in the team's Week 11 loss to the Titans. The Packers didn't bother easing Cobb back in with a light role against Tennessee, as he played a healthy 56 percent of the snaps of offense and finished with six receptions for 73 yards on six targets in his return from a four-game absence.

Another limited listing Cobb (illness) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.
Impact Cobb's health concern is an ailment as opposed to an injury, which so far has capped his on-field reps during Week 12 prep. Assuming he's able to put the illness behind him for Sunday's road matchup with the Eagles -- be it on Friday's report or upon the release of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff -- he again will be an option at wide receiver for Aaron Rodgers.
