Randall Cobb is expected to return from an injury on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans.
Cobb has missed the last 4 weeks and the last game he played in was against the New York Jets in Week 6. He dealt with a high-ankle sprain and needed several games to overcome the injury.

The Packers could use Cobb’s presence in the passing game. Before he missed time with his injury, Cobb recorded 18 catches for 257 yards. Cobb is in the 2nd season of his 2nd stint with the Packers. Previously, Cobb was with the Packers from 2011 to 2018.
He will be re-joining a Packers team that picked up a crucial win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The wide receivers had to make up for losing Cobb over the last few weeks. Luckily for the Packers, rookie wide receiver Christian Watson had 3 touchdowns and 107 receiving yards against the Cowboys.
The Packers enter Thursday’s game with a 4-6 record and need to win most of the games remaining on the schedule to make the playoffs. With Cobb coming back, he will be able to add more depth to Green Bay’s receiving corps. On the other sideline, the Titans head into Thursday’s game with a 6-3 record.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.
