DAVID BAKHTIARI NEWS

Logs limited practice Bakhtiari (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bakhtiari made his season debut Sunday against the Buccaneers, playing 56 percent of the team's offensive snaps. After his long recovery from an ACL tear in late 2020, it makes sense for the team to remain cautious with him, as they ease the left tackle back into action. Whether he'll be able to play Sunday against the Patriots remains unknown, but if he does suit up, he'll likely still be on a snap count.

Bakhtiari's return gives Packers plenty of options on O-line

Whether the Green Bay Packers will continue rotating David Bakhtiari and Yosh Nijman at left tackle remains uncertain

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alternates drives in return Bakhtiari started at left tackle and played 35 of a possible 62 snaps (56 percent) in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.

Impact Bakhtiari took the field for the first time this season and for just the second time since tearing his ACL in December of 2020, and he was eased back into action, alternating drives with fellow tackle Yosh Nijman. Bakhtiari's recovery from his first action in a while will presumably dictate the Packers' plan moving forward, and his snaps could continue to be monitored in the short term. Long-term, though, if Bakhtiari can get anywhere close to where he was pre-injury, he will reclaim a full-time role at left tackle and provide a noticeable boost for the Packers' skill players and its offense as a whole.

Trending toward playing Sunday Bakhtiari (knee) is trending toward playing Week 3 at Tampa Bay, Bill Huber reports.

Impact Since tearing his ACL late in the 2020 season, Bakhtiari has appeared in just one game for Green Bay, but it finally appears as if he might be ready to make a full return to action soon. The Packers could still opt to play things safe by putting the five-time All-Pro selection on a snap count at first instead of completely throwing him back into the fire right away.

Questionable again Bakhtiari (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Impact Since tearing his ACL during the end of the 2020 campaign, Bakhtiari continues to struggle staying on the field and healthy. The former All-Pro tackle is yet to make his 2022 season debut for the Packers. It's possible Elgton Jenkins (knee) will need to provide a boost to the Packers' offensive line, as he didn't receive a game status and is expected to play.

Upgrades to a limited participant Bakhtiari (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' practice report Thursday.

Impact Bakhtiari continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered at the end of the 2020 campaign, but his upgrade from a non-participant Wednesday to a limited participant Thursday is an optimistic sign heading into Sunday's 2021 NFC Championship rematch against the Buccaneers. The former All-Pro's activity during Friday's session should provide more clarity regarding his Week 3 availability, but if Bakhtiari is ruled out again, Yosh Nijman would likely make another start at left tackle.

Unavailable against Chicago Bakhtiari (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Bakhtiari continues to deal with a knee injury to begin the 2022 campaign, and he'll be unable to make his season debut during Sunday's primetime matchup. The Packers' offensive line will get a boost since Elgton Jenkins (knee) is available, while Bakhtiari's next chance to play will be against the Buccaneers next Sunday.

Listed as questionable again Bakhtiari (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Bakhtiari sat out Sunday's season-opening loss to Minnesota after being listed as questionable and once again finds himself deemed iffy for Week 2. The former All-Pro left tackle has struggled to stay on the field since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in January of 2021. Fellow standout offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins (knee/pectoral) is also questionable, so the Packers may have to ride with Yosh Nijman at left tackle against Chicago on Sunday night.

Back to no practice Bakhtiari (knee) did not practice during Thursday's session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday Bakhtiari is on a "day on, day off" schedule of practicing as he works to return to the field. The All-Pro left tackle made it through Wednesday's session, but his practice status for Friday will likely play a pivotal role in helping determine his availability Sunday night against the Bears.
