Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy indicated receiver Randall Cobb would be out “multiple weeks” after leaving Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a leg injury.

According to Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Cobb suffered a fractured fibula and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks of action.

The injury is a full break of the fibula and will take the full 6-8 week window to heal.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t thrilled with the hit from Ravens’ safety Matt Elam that injured Cobb. He felt Elam should have been able to adjust to strike him in a less dangerous manner. The hit has now cost Rodgers one of his top targets.

Cobb leads the Packers with 29 catches so far this season.
