Bears Could be in Trouble with Both Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb Possibly Playing Sunday

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are one of the best rivalries in sports. It's only fitting that the titans of the NFL are going to battle it out for the NFC North crown on Sunday. Early in the week it appeared as if the game was Chicago's to lose, but with the return of two key players for the Packers it is looking like that's not the case anymore.

From Bleacher Report

On Thursday the Packers announced that quarterback Aaron Rodgers would be starting for the first time since breaking his collar bone almost two months ago. While that alone is good news there is a chance Rodgers could get one of his top targets back as well--Randall Cobb.

With this being his third season in the league, Cobb was expected to have a breakout season; a notion that was buoyed by his 80 reception/954 yard season in '12. A broken fibula early in the season put an end to that, but he recently returned to practice and could play on Sunday.

Chicago will have to hope for one of two things--that Rodgers will struggle during his first game back much like he did or the absence of linebacker Clay Mathews (who is out with an injury) will be the break he needs to get the Bears offense on track.

Whether he does or not, it appears that this is going to be another worthy addition to the lengthy history between the two franchises.
