Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb returned to the practice field on Thursday after suffering a concussion during his team's loss to the Chicago Bears on Dec. 16.
However, in spite of the fact that Cobb is back on the field, he is a bit concerned about his welfare, according to Jim Owczarski of The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
“I don’t remember anything until I got back to the locker room, so there’s like a 10-minute span where I had amnesia,” said Cobb when describing the details of his head injury. “Yeah, it’s pretty scary. Have you ever had a time period where you just don’t remember anything? It’s pretty scary.”
Cobb added that he has had plenty of serious injuries before, but nothing jarred him like this concussion:
“I’ve had a punctured lung. I’ve had a broken leg. I came back and played and not thought about those things,” he said. “I would consider this to be another thing that whenever I take the field, I’m worried about that moment. I’m not worried about what’s happened in the past. Which is hard to do. That’s why we’re the men in the arena. That’s one of my favorite quotes; LeBron [James] always talks about that quote a lot. There’s a reason we do what we do and other people don’t, because we’re able to overcome those thoughts.”
Cobb's status for the Packers' season finale against the Detroit Lions this weekend is up in the air.
It has been a rough year for Cobb overall, as he has played in just eight games and has caught 37 passes for 356 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Each of those numbers are his lowest output since 2013.
