Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is officially listed as doubtful ahead of the team's Week 16 showdown against the New York Jets.
The Packers are still mathematically in the NFC playoff hunt, but at 5-8-1 on the season, they're going to need a lot of help to make the postseason for the first time since the 2016 season.
And it sounds like the veteran wide receiver may not be able to help Green Bay at least make things interesting in the playoff push, as he's been listed as doubtful on the team's official injury report for Saturday's matchup.

Cobb has 37 receptions for 356 yards and two touchdowns this season, but he's only played in eight games due to various injuries.
He's played at least 13 games in six of his eight seasons with the Packers, so there's no doubt that he's likely been frustrated by being unable to suit up for more games this year.
But with Green Bay's playoff chances extremely slim, most people inside and outside the organization have probably started to put more thought into where the team goes from here after the firing of former head coach Mike McCarthy a few weeks ago.
This is going to be a crucial offseason for the Packers, and they simply have to get the right fit on the sidelines if they want to return to the top of the NFL standings.
After Saturday's game against the New York Jets, the Packers will finish up the regular season with a Week 17 clash against the Detroit Lions.
