Sherrod is also a long shot.

How is he probable for the game if he's still on IR and not even on the roster? Also, I didn't think it was ever his knee.
Not trying to be a smart **** I'm just honestly wondering.

They have until tomorrow afternoon to put him on the roster. They're going to see how he feels tomorrow and if all is good, he'll probably play. I doubt he'll start but they'll probably get him on the field to get him some reps to he can go full-bore in the playoffs. I expect him to at least dress this week. I would guess he'll probably get somewhere between 10-15 snaps.

Think about our current weapons.

-Rodgers.
-Lacy the brusier..... (and Starks running great behind him. And we're missing DuJuan Harris & Jonathan Franklin.)
-Cobb, the do-everything.
-Jordy deep and sidelines
-Jones

Those are all guys who can hurt a defense. And fast.

In football, there is IR (Injury Reserve) and IR/Designated for Return. This new IR/Designated for Return was created in 2012 to allow a team to put one player on IR that is eligible to come back during the season.

http://sports.stackexchange.com/que...yer-from-injured-reserve-designated-to-return

The team can put a player on the IR/Designated for Return list only if...

• The player was on the team's final 53-man preseason roster
  
  
• The player's injury will prevent him from practicing or playing football for an estimated 6 weeks
  

The player then will be allowed to practice with the team after 6 weeks and can be activated after 8 weeks.

When activated, the team must make room for him on the 53 man roster. This can be done by trading or waiving a current rostered player

From the week when he broke his leg..

The designated-for-return rule, which went into effect last season, allows teams to place one player per season on injured reserve and then bring him back later in the season. Cobb must stay on that list for eight weeks before he can return. He can begin practicing after six weeks.

That would allow Cobb to return for the Packers' final three regular-season games, beginning with the Dec. 15 game at Dallas.

I'd love to see Jace Amaro added to that list. Then if Finley could beat the odds and continue playing... holy crap.

Having Cobb even as a decoy would help AR immensely. It would give him a good place to go with the ball when under duress. I dont think they put Cobb on the field if he isnt ready to go.

 

[gatorpack]

Boykin excites me as well

 

[gatorpack]

I would draft defense and oline. Also a te if we are losing fin

 

[adambr2]

To clarify, I knew about the new temporary IR rule from last year. I was just wondering how they could classify him as probable when as of right now he is still technically on the
IR and has not been activated. Hope he can play Sunday.

 

[FrankRizzo]

Today we should find out if Cobb is a go tomorrow.

He adds a very dangerous element to our offense and I want him back badly.

Packers have activated Cobb from IR.

 

[ivo610]

Guess we are getting the band back together

 

[hit and run]

This is big. It's funny that the media has completely down played Cobb coming back. He is huge in the slot. If he's fully healthy, da Bears won't be able to cover him with Nelson and Jones out there too. Go Pack!

 

[yooperpackfan]

This is great news.
Go Pack beat the bears!

 

[weeds]

Let's hope it is 'in time'.

Go Pack

Had to find this when I read that:

Bingo. If you look at the first drive against Chicago in the first game, their defense was basically playing Cover 2 with the 2 safeties playing extra deep. With Cobb in the slot, Nelson on the right and Jones on the left, the linebackers will have to play deep too, leaving Lacy to run all over them.

Rodgers and Cobb can make the difference between stumbling into the playoffs only to get knocked off early and making a serious Super Bowl push. With our offense running at peak efficiency, we can compete with anyone, anywhere.

Someone mentioned how Cobb coming back will be huge for the Packers and the other guy said "Who is that?"... I think I screamed at the tv.

 

[Forget Favre]

The only one I'm happy about is Mr. Rodgers.
Not that we don't need Cobb but I thought we did OK without him.
