Cox (groin) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox is set to see his first game action since being moved to injured reserve Sept. 11. The defensive end will return just in time to reinforce a Packers defensive line that is reeling at the loss of Micah Parsons (ACL). Cox could receive some rotational snaps at defensive end behind Rashan Gary, Kingsley Enagbare, Arron Mosby and Lukas Van Ness.

The Packers activated Cox (groin) from injured reserve Friday, but he is still listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago, Paul Bretl of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox has been on injured reserve since suffering a groin injury in Week 1. His activation from IR indicates that he'll be available for Saturday's NFC North tilt, and if he's cleared to play, then he'll give the Packers a much-needed boost on the defensive line in the absence of Micah Parsons (knee - IR).

Cox (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox was once again a full participant in practice and has the potential to be activated off injured reserve for Saturday's divisional contest. The defensive end has seen just eight defensive snaps this season, but with the season-ending injury to Micah Parsons (ACL) in last Sunday's loss to the Broncos, Week 16 is the perfect time for Cox to return to the Packers' defensive end room.

Cox (groin) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being a full participant at practice Friday, Cox will remain on the injured reserve list in Week 15 as he continues to recover from the groin injury he sustained in Week 1 versus the Lions. His absence could mean that rookie fourth-rounder Barryn Sorrell continues to see increased reps.

Cox (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury in the team's Week 1 win over the Lions, but he's now geared up to make his return to the practice field. The Packers will now have a 21-day window to activate the 25-year-old or he'll remain on IR for the rest of the year.

The Packers placed Cox (groin) on injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cox suffered a groin injury during the Packers' Week 1 win over the Lions. By being placed on injured reserve, he'll be forced to miss at least four games. That makes Week 7 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Oct. 19 the earliest Cox would be eligible to be reinstated from the Packers' IR.

Cox (groin) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox did not practice at all this week after leaving Green Bay's regular-season debut early with a groin issue, and now he'll have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. In his stead, Kingsley Enagbare projects to see an increased workload on the edge.

Cox finished the 2024 season with 12 tackles (eight solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across seven regular-season contests.
EDGE Analysis
Cox signed with Green Bay as an undrafted free agent out of Florida following the 2023 NFL Draft and played four defensive snaps as a rookie. A healthy inactive for the first nine games of the season, Cox didn't see his first action of the 2024 campaign until Week 11 against the Bears, where he recorded 1.0 sacks on 22 snaps. Cox was a prominent member of the Packers' edge rotation the rest of the way and finished fourth on the team in sacks despite playing a total of 160 defensive snaps. On a per-snap basis, Cox was one of the most productive edge rushers in the league, recording seven QB hits and five tackles for loss. Look for the coaching staff to give Cox an even longer look this offseason.

Cox (foot) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cox was unable to play in the Packers' regular-season finale against the Bears due to a foot injury he picked up in Week 17 against the Vikings. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's wild-card game. Cox and Kingsley Enagbare will serve as the Packers' top rotational defensive ends behind starters Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness.
