Re-signing with Green Bay The Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with Cox, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The one-year, $2.5 million deal will keep the restricted free agent with the Packers. Cox was a valuable rotational defensive piece, helping out on the edge when star pass rusher Micah Parsons went down in December of 2025. The 26-year-old played in just four 2025 regular-season games, down from seven in 2024.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Cox (groin) is listed as active for Saturday night's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Cox is set to see his first game 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.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from injured reserve The Packers activated Cox (groin) from injured reserve Friday, but he is still listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Chicago, Paul reports.

Impact 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).

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Cox (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play at Denver Cox (groin) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return from IR Cox (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve The Packers placed Cox (groin) on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact 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.

Packers' offensive line missing Zach Tom and Aaron Banks vs. Commanders

Green Bay was without two starters on its offensive line for Thursday night’s game against Washington

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • Associated Press

Won't play Thursday Cox (groin) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Questionable to return Sunday Cox (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Detroit.

Impact Cox suffered a groin injury in the third quarter versus the Lions, which has placed doubt on his ability to return to action. Prior to exiting the game, Cox failed to record any stats.
