Will open season on PUP list Bakhtiari (knee) will open the season on the PUP list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Impact There was a sliver of hope that Bakhtiari -- the left tackle on the 2020 All-Pro Team -- would be ready for Week 1, but he is only eight months removed from tearing his ACL, so it does not come as a major surprise that he needs more time to recover. With Bakhtiari headed to the PUP list, he will miss the first six weeks of the regular season and will not be eligible to practice until the week leading up the Packers' Week 7 matchup with Washington. Elgton Jenkins -- a 2020 Pro Bowl selection at the guard spot -- will serve as the Packers' starting left tackle until Bakhtiari is ready to make his season debut.
