The 24-year-old's trophy has been forgotten due to several hurdles this season.
After landing on Kansas City's practice squad following the 53-man roster cut in the summer, he was placed on the practice squad injured list at the end of September.
Cobb's injury was not revealed.
The roster forced him to miss at least four games before the team could reactivate him to the practice squad.

Cupp impressed in the preseason as a blocker.
He is expected to replace Peyton Hendershot, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Chiefs' Week 12 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Kansas City has Kelce and Noah Gray as the only healthy tight ends on the team's active roster.
However, if Cupp is added to the 53-man roster, he will have a hard time removing picks from nine-time Pro Bowler Kelce, and even Gray.
The latter player has four total touchdowns in the last two games.
Kelce wasn't too shabby in the last contest, recording a team-high six receptions.
Cobb has yet to play in an NFL game.
Placing Cupp on the practice squad was part of a flurry of moves made by the team.
They have announced seven roster moves that include the active roster and practice squad.
Kansas City added offensive tackle DJ Humphries to the 53-man roster, signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad, waived defensive end Cameron Thomas, and former third-round pick Lucas Niang and former undrafted free agent Truman Jones have had their contracts terminated. From the training squad.

All the moves paves the way for star cornerback Isiah Pachevo to be activated from the reserve/injured list and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu to be activated from the reserve/PUP list.
The Chiefs currently have 51 of the 53 active roster spots open, meaning they have two open spots waiting for Pacheco and Omeniho.
Both are in their third week of practice since the 21-day practice windows opened before their Week 11 contest with the Buffalo Bills.
Pacheco and Omeniho have a chance to play in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders as part of the Black Friday contest.
The Chiefs are hoping for an NFL-best 11 wins.
