Medical expert David Chao, who used to be an NFL team head physician, ran down the scenarios for Cobb’s injury.
RANDALL COBB shoulder
@packers fans rest easy.
By video, staying optimistic.
AC separation. Possible Week 1.
(But I was wrong on Jordy)

RANDALL COBB @packers return depends on grade of AC injury.
1: good to go Week 1
2: possible Week 1
3: unlikely Week 1, but still not IR/dfr

This is the last thing the Packers needed after Jordy Nelson went down last weekend. Cobb is fully capable of stepping up and becoming the team’s top target, but that picture is not as clear if both of their top receivers are out. Additionally, Bryan Bulaga left the game with an ankle injury.
