The Packers will already be without their leading wide receiver, Jordy Nelson, for the entire regular season, fallen to what they called a significant right knee injury. It looked like deja vu on Saturday night when Randall Cobb, Nelson's No. 2, lay on the turf with what he admitted he thought was a broken collarbone.
The team ruled out anything of that severity before the night was over, but scheduled more tests on Sunday to determine the injury, the results of which revealed a "minor" AC joint sprain, according to NFL Media.
Though his availability for the Packers' Week 1 matchup, against the Bears at Soldier Field, is still questionable. There is no word for what kind of time he will miss to rehab from his injury, though it sounds like a day-to-day concern for the man who suddenly finds himself the primary option for Aaron Rodgers.
Davante Adams, Ty Montgomery, and Jeff Janis are the remaining options at the wide receiver position, and tight ends Richard Rodgers and Andrew Quarless remain as viable pass catchers in an offense that last season produced the second-most touchdowns and yards per attempt in the NFL.
