Impact Bakhtiari is believed to have suffered a torn ACL, but the Packers will presumably put him through more diagnostic tests before the injury is confirmed.

The 29-year-old became the highest-paid offensive lineman just over a month and a half ago, when he inked a four-year, $103.5 million contract extension with Green Bay.
