It will be Cobb. Packers are hoping to win games and they are using their best players to do it.
- On the topic of returns, though, McCarthy also said he won't try to rely on reserve players on punt returns instead of starters. Specifically, he said "I gotta get away from that thinking...when you're cautious, negative things happen. We're going to put our best players out there." That suggests that he will be willing to use Micah Hyde and/or Randall Cobb on returns if one of the backups does not take command of the jobs.
I hope this means that MM is also on a self improvement regimen. He has been too cautious at critical times.(and then overcompensates with low percentage bombs on 4 and 1 )
This is about a mindset in my opinion. Attack with abandon at all times, with your best weapons. Offense, defense and ST will all have the same mind set.
I kind of dig it, if I'm understanding it correctly.
If MM is able to trounce lesser opponents with large margins of victory, take no prisoners and kill teams off when you have the chance, rather than his bad habit of letting his foot off the gas and playing safe with a lead, then I'm reading him right. We'll see.
The short version:
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
Cobb is a dynamic football player. The more times he has the ball in his hands in the open field, the better. I think Hyde or whoever are capable, but the best man for the job is clearly Cobb. You can't play scared and beat teams like Seattle on the road. If Cobb goes down, he goes down.
If Cobb is gonna be returning punts, then I'd rather they not use him on offense. If he gets injured in a pass play or blocking down on a running play, then he won't be able to return punts. Then what will the Packers do?
On returns and injuries, I am sure there are stats available of which I am unaware.
It just seems to me a punt returner is more liable to get hit by someone running close to full speed (open tackle) and I think that makes the likelihood of injury higher.
I think it's where they hit them rather than whether it's an open tackle or not. Last year Cobb was hurt when he was cut low, where a lot of guys got hurt last year with the penalties on head hits. Get hit high in the head and your chances of getting hurt climb. If the tackler hits a target from chest to upper thigh, then it seems like offensive players don't get hurt as often. We just need to paint a target on Cobb. 
A guy capable of flipping field position is more liable to do it compared to a guy that can't.
Reward is worth the risk.
I think back to Jeremy Ross kicking a ball around the goal line in Cincy last year, fumble, 14-0 Bengals. Adams muffing back to back punts in TN.
Cobb isnt a rook looking to impress the coaches for PT either. He's not going kamikaze. He'll pick his spots. If the return isn't there he'll FC. If he gets an opportunity he knows what to do.

Bostick is scheduled to meet with team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie on Wednesday to see if he will be cleared to return.
"Hopefully I get some good news from the doctors," Bostick said Monday.
Bostick made the trip to Seattle and although he already was ruled out for the game, he went through a lengthy workout on the field several hours before kickoff.
"Just wanted to see where I was," Bostick said. "I thought I progressed."
Bostick said his leg felt fine and that he planned to go through another workout on Tuesday.
"I feel fine, but there's a difference between actually playing and just walking around," he said. "I'll see how I feel when I come in on Wednesday."
