Randall Cobb is inactive

UPDATE (3:29 p.m. ET): What was widely expected has now been confirmed, and Cobb is inactive.

Randall Cobb would like to add to your Week 17 malaise. He practiced minimally all week, so a report from Jay Glazer that he’ll be inactive this afternoon when the Packers game against Minnesota kicks off should be greeted with little shock.

Cobb possesses exceptional short area quickness and the agility to create separation from defenders while also being able to shake them out of their cleats in their tackle attempts. That’s why he’s a very dangerous receiver after the catch, and why the San Francisco defense paid special attention to him.
