Barring a setback, the Green Bay Packers will have slot receiver Randall Cobb available on Saturday night against the San Francisco 49ers. - Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed on Wednesday that Cobb is expected to play. - “Cobby is coming along great, and he looks good at practice, so I would anticipate him playing in this game,” LaFleur said. - Cobb, who suffered a core muscle injury on Nov. 28 against the Los Angeles Rams, is still on injured reserve. The Packers will need to activate him to the 53-man roster before Saturday. - Cobb missed the final five games of the regular season after having surgery to correct the issue. He caught 28 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games before the injury. - The return of Cobb could give the Packers at least three veteran receivers for Aaron Rodgers to lean on during Saturday night’s showdown with the 49ers. He is comfortable with Cobb, Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, who combined to catch 24 of his 37 touchdown passes this season. Cobb could play an increasingly important role if Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) can’t play. - - List - - Packers playoff preview: Where are the 49ers vulnerable? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Packers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Packers Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
