The Green Bay Packers are looking to bound back after a tough loss last week against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. Luckily for the Packers, it looks like they will have two of their key offensive players for this week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
According to the Green Bay Packers injury report, Cobb and Graham “were removed from the injury report and are expected to play.”
Cobb has had a very up and down season in 2018, however, he has missed six games due to injury. The Packers veteran wide receiver as 29 receptions and 283 yards this season. His lone touchdown on the season came back in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears.
Jimmy Graham signed with the Packers prior to the season and the talented tight end has fit in fairly well with an offense that has rarely used their tight ends in recent seasons. Graham has 44 receptions, 536 yards, and two touchdowns on the season. His lack of red zone touchdowns is surprising considering his size and ability to make plays in this part of the field. Graham will likely see a lot of Atlanta's star linebacker Deion Jones, who possesses the speed and coverage ability to stifle Graham.
The Packers will likely find themselves in a shootout with the Falcons on Sunday considering how each defensive unit has struggled this season. It's also likely there will be a heavy dose of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan considering how unproductive Atlanta's ground game has been this season.
Green Bay desperately needs this victory and now with a new head coach in Green Bay, there is a lot of adversity for the team to overcome.
