Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari made his 2022 debut on Sunday when he started the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the 14-12 win, Bakhtiari rotated with Yosh Nijman, who had started the previous two games at left tackle, on a series-by-series basis. In the end, Bakhtiari ended up playing 35 snaps while Nijman played 27. That eclipsed Bakhtiari’s 27 snaps in Week 18 of last season, the only game he suited up for in 2021 following his ACL tear on New Year’s Eve of 2020.
It’s not often that offensive linemen, at any position, are rotated on a series-by-series basis, let alone at the blindside tackle position.
