Randall Cobb injury update: What happened to the Packers WR? 

Randall Cobb feared that his NFL season may have come to an end when he was carted off Lambeau Field in Week 6. The Green Bay Packers receiver had a towel over his head, tears in his eyes, and looked distraught while getting back to the dressing room. This led many to believe that Cobb may have broken his ankle in Sunday's defeat against the New York Jets.

However, there was some good news for the Packers, who should have Cobb back in action sooner than expected this season. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Cobb avoided a 'serious injury' at the weekend.
