Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has revealed that wide receiver Randall Cobb could come into contention to play in his side's NFC North showdown on Sunday.

Cobb has been out of action since October 13 with a broken leg he sustained in his side's win over the Baltimore Ravens, and now the club will have a decision to make whether to activate him from their injured reserve list for their clash with the Chicago Bears.

"We gave Randall a bunch of work today. He'll be evaluated tomorrow. See how he feels tomorrow," McCarthy told reporters.

"The push has really come the last two weeks for Randall. You could see he was coming on strong. I thought he did some good things last week, but he wasn't ready. He's fighting through the soreness and the things you would expect, coming back from the seriousness of his injury.

"He looks good. He's got fresh legs. He's doing all the little things. The fine-motor-skill things he was able to stay on top of. We just have to make sure he's ready to go."

The Packers face the Bears on Sunday with the winners going through to the post-season.
