The Facts: Cobb is contemplating his medical options and awaiting further information on whether it makes sense for him to try to play again this season. Cobb, 30, acknowledged there's a strong chance he doesn't play again this season.
Diehards Line:Cobb is on injured reserve and still in a walking boot for his injured toe, a medical setback sustained while catching a touchdown against the New England Patriots. A doctor will recommend next week whether Cobb should undergo surgery and not play again this season, allow it to heal without surgery and still not play again this year or attempt to rehabilitate the toe and attempt to return to practice and play again. Signed to a three-year, $27 million contract that includes $18.75 million guaranteed, Cobb has caught 38 passes for 441 yards and three touchdowns. The Texans replaced Cobb in the slot with Keke Coutee, who delivered a career-high performance with eight receptions for 141 yards last Sunday in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Cobb is under contract for two more seasons. The former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers starter is due a fully guaranteed $8.25 million base salary in 2021 and a nonguaranteed $7.875 million base salary in 2022.
