GREEN BAY https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , Wis. 鈥?Cleared from the concussion protocol, receiver聽Randall Cobb聽expects to play in the Green Bay Packers' season finale.Packers CoveragePackers post-Super Bowl 2019 mock draft roundupGreen Bay Packers 2019 impending free agents primerAaron Rodgers' offseason to feature golf, not knee surgeryPhotos of the Week: 1/27/19 – 2/2/19Top Tweets: Wisconsin athletes survive 2019 polar vortexPackers bring back Getsy as Rodgers' QBs coachStaTuesday: The coldest games in Wisconsin historyPackers name Ravens' Hendrickson director of football operationsGrading Brian Gutekunst's moves in first year as Packers GMPackers bring in Nathaniel Hackett to take over as offensive coordinatorIt could be his final game with the team."I'm human so I can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind," Cobb said on Thursday.A second-round pick in 2011, Cobb had a big 2014 season with 91 catches for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. That led to Cobb signing a four-year, $40 million contract in free agency.He's never gotten close to matching that production, though, with a total of 16 touchdowns the past four seasons. He started this season with a bang, tallying nine catches for 142 yards, including the game-winning, 75-yard touchdown reception against Chicago in Week 1.However, Cobb has missed six games with a hamstring injury before sitting out last week with a concussion. He enters Sunday with just 37 catches for 356 yards and two touchdowns.With that, free agency will beckon once more for the 28-year-old Cobb, who ranks sixth in franchise history with 469 receptions."It's not at the forefront of my thoughts," he said. "I would say right now I'm just taking it all in, just enjoying the moments like I always do. The crazy thing about this game is every time we take that field, it could be the last time that we play. I've never taken for granted. Every time I walk through the tunnel 鈥?even when I'm taking somebody on a tour like my family or friends 鈥?I cherish that moment."Cobb has one key supporter in quarterback聽Aaron Rodgers. The Packers haven't had someone who can replace Cobb in the slot Quinten Rollins Jersey , and the offense has suffered as a consequence.When Cobb has been out of the lineup, the Packers have had to lean heavily on rookie receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown. Without the rapport that Rodgers shares with Cobb, they've produced sporadically."We've always enjoyed going to war with each other," Cobb said of Rodgers. "He's my quarterback, you know? It's been a lot of fun. It means a lot to me."Cobb and linebacker聽Clay Matthews聽will be the team's two high-profile free agents. A first-round pick in 2009, Matthews has spent all 10 seasons with the Packers."I think everybody wants to be with one team the entirety of their career, Matthews said. "If that's what it's in the cards, fantastic. If not, I'll deal with that once it presents itself."Matthews has 83陆 sacks, the team's most since the NFL made sacks an official stat in 1982. However, as is the case with Cobb, he'll enter free agency on a down note with a career-low 3陆 sacks this season."I think I've done a real good job of just focusing on this season and nothing beyond," Matthews said. "I think I learned that at a younger age. … Obviously, I'm not oblivious to the fact that I could be somewhere else next year, but it's not like I'll be an emotional wreck on Sunday."Cobb is just happy to be finishing after suffering a concussion late in the Week 15 game at Chicago. He said he doesn't remember the final three snaps he played and has about 10 minutes of "amnesia."He missed last week's win at the Jets and returned to practice on Thursday. He plans to play against the Lions."I've had a punctured lung, I've had a broken leg, and I've come 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 Brett Hundley Color Rush Jersey , I'm worried about that moment. I'm not worried about what's happened in the past, which is hard to do."NOTES: Both Cobb and Matthews (back) were limited in their returns to practice. … LT David Bakhtiari (hip) was also limited in returning to practice. … CB Jaire Alexander (groin) and WR聽Davante Adams聽(knee) missed a second day of practice, though Adams has said that he plans to play on Sunday. GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers’ head-coaching vacancy should be appealing for one big reason.Packers CoveragePhotos of the Week: 7/21/19 – 7/27/19Packers rookie Gary’s biggest critic is himselfTop Tweets: Former Badger TJ Watt has impressive four-year transformationPHOTOS: 2019 Green Bay Packers training campPackers’ Rodgers, LaFleur ironing out offense, building chemistryPlayers to watch at Green Bay Packers 2019 training campLaFleur: Offense still a work in progress as Packers open campPackers release defensive tackle Mike DanielsGreen Bay Packers 2019 training camp primerPackers’ Rodgers not ranked as a top-5 quarterback in Madden 20He plays quarterback and signed a four-year, $134 million contract extension this year.Two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, though, will not be involved in the process of selecting Mike McCarthy’s successor, but is free to provide input, team president Mark Murphy said on Monday.And that seems fine with Rodgers, who said he was focused on the Packers’ final four games under interim coach Joe Philbin.“I think there’s an interest in who the next guy will be, but (Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst) and I have always had good lines of communication, their offices, like they say, are always open,” Rodgers said. “I’m not needing to be involved in that process.”Murphy said Rodgers was also not part of the decision to fire McCarthy following the stunning 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday that dropped Green Bay to 4-7-1. Chances of making the playoffs are slim.It appeared that most players had already left Lambeau Field by that point, with many Packers saying they had learned of the firing on social media or through text messages.“Found out probably the same way you did at the same time you did https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Kyle-Murphy-Jersey ,” receiver Davante Adams said on Monday. “I was definitely surprised. But, it’s a business and business is business, and that’s what it is.”Rodgers was already home to celebrate his 35th birthday when he found out.“I’m sure I found out the same way that most of you found out,” Rodgers said, “and was just as shocked as many of you were.”He planned to reach out to McCarthy later Monday.“I think him and I, like any relationship, we have our amazing times, we have our times where we butt heads,” Rodgers said. “But the basis, like I said, was built on mutual respect and communication. … We spent time together and growing our friendship and we accomplished a lot together.”From Adams to Rodgers, nearly every player in the locker room spoke highly of McCarthy, who overall had a successful tenure of 12-plus seasons highlighted by a Super Bowl win in the 2010 season. The 55-year-old McCarthy led the Packers to nine playoff appearances and four trips to the NFC title game overall.But offensive struggles this year followed a 2017 season in which Rodgers broke his right collarbone and the team missed the postseason. In 2016, the Packers started 4-6 before winning eight straight to get to the conference championship game.Murphy said it was time to make a change after the embarrassing loss to Arizona.“I don’t want to get into the details, but he was very professional,” Murphy said when asked how McCarthy reacted to his dismissal. “He’s a first-class person … and made a comment that, ‘It’s the coaching profession. I know what I got into when I became a coach.'”Gutekunst will be heavily involved, along with a committee Justin Vogel Jersey , in hiring the next coach, though the decision will belong to Murphy, the highest-ranking executive in the NFL’s only publicly owned franchise. He adjusted the Packers’ organizational structure in January, when Gutekunst was promoted to replace Ted Thompson as GM, to have McCarthy report directly to the team president.“The structure, again, you’re focused on the structure,” Murphy said in response to one of several questions about how the Packers’ organizational flow chart could be perceived by potential coaching candidates. “The most important thing is the people and the relationships.“Brian and I have a great relationship,” Murphy said. “I think we’ll be in good shape, and I’m confident we’ll be able to hire an excellent coach.”Murphy has more football experience than the average team president, having played safety under Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs for the Washington Redskins. Also a lawyer, Murphy had extensive experience in sports administration before becoming Packers president/CEO in 2007. He was athletic director at Northwestern, where he hired coach Pat Fitzgerald, before coming to Green Bay.Murphy also views Philbin as a candidate. He would like to evaluate the veteran assistant and former Dolphins head coach over the next four weeks.Off the field, the move to dismiss McCarthy gave the Packers an early start on the coaching search. Murphy and Gutekunst offered few specifics when asked what they were looking for in the next coach, other than that would the team would wait until after the season to make a hire.“I think this decision was about changing our course more than anything,” Gutekunst said. “We just felt like it was a time to change the course.”
