Records 4.0 sacks on limited snaps Cox finished the 2024 season with 12 tackles (eight solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across seven regular-season contests.

Impact 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 in 2024, Cox didn't see his first action of the year 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.

Active for wild-card round Cox (foot) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Could suit up in wild-card game Cox (foot) is questionable to play in Sunday's wild-card contest against Philadelphia, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Cox hurt his foot Week 17 against Minnesota and didn't play in Green Bay's season finale versus Chicago. He was able to log a trio of limited practices this week, and his ability to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup may not be known until about 90 minutes prior to the 4:30 PM ET kickoff. When healthy this season, Cox has played a rotational role at defensive end, and he has buoyed the Packers' pass rush with 4.0 sacks over seven games.

Returns to field Cox (foot) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Cox missed the Packers' season finale against the Bears after suffering a foot injury during Week 17. His ability to get back on the practice field gives the 24-year-old some momentum toward potentially suiting up for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Chicago Cox (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact The door was left open for Cox to play in Sunday's regular-season finale despite not practicing all week due to a foot injury. He wasn't able to progress enough in his recovery over the weekend, and the 24-year-old will shift his focus to being available for the first round of the playoffs. Cox will end his second NFL regular season with 12 tackles (eight solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble over seven games. Arron Mosby and Kingsley Enagbare will be Green Bay's rotational defensive ends behind Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness due to Cox's absence.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy to play against Chicago Cox (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Cox has been held out of practice all week due to a foot injury he picked up during the Packers' Week 17 loss to the Vikings, but Green Bay has kept the door open for the 24-year-old defensive end to play Sunday. Kingsley Enagbare and Arron Mosby would serve as the Packers' rotational defensive ends behind starters Rashan Gary and Lukas Van Ness if Cox is unable to play.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up foot injury Cox (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cox appears to have sustained a foot injury in Green Bay's Week 17 loss to the Vikings, despite playing 33 total snaps (27 defensive and six on special teams) and failing to record a stat. The Florida product has been one of the Packers' most productive edge rushers since the team traded Preston Smith to the Steelers in early November, recording 12 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble in just seven appearances this season. Cox likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 18 matchup against the Bears.
