David Bakhtiari - On track to make season debut Bakhtiari (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, announced via his personal Twitter account that he expects to play. Impact The star left tackle's availability won't be officially confirmed until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when Green Bay releases its inactive list. However, with Bakhtiari appearing to have checked out fine following a full practice Friday, he looks like he'll be able to make his season debut. With Green Bay already having clinched the NFC's No. 1 overall seed for the postseason, Bakhtiari and several other starters could play only limited snaps in a mostly meaningless regular-season finale, but barring any setbacks, the 30-year-old should be ready to handle a full workload in the divisional round. Bakhtiari hasn't played in a game since suffering a torn ACL in practice Dec. 31, 2020.
