GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers called an audible on Wednesday. Left tackle David Bakhtiari was not scheduled to work but, there he was, going through the pre-practice warm-up before jogging onto Clarke Hinkle Field for what was set to be a low-impact practice.
Bakhtiari’s involvement was noteworthy. He made his 2022 debut during Sunday’s victory at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, starting and playing 35 snaps in his first game in 37 weeks and his second appearance since suffering a torn ACL on Dec. 31, 2020.
“Physically completely different,” Bakhtiari told reporters after the game in contrasting this to his playing in the 2021 finale at Detroit but then being inactive for the playoff loss to San Francisco two weeks later.
