GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari did not practice on Wednesday.
It’s possible Bakhtiari’s long-and-winding comeback has hit another snag. Or, it’s possible the plan was to hold him out on Wednesday – the lone padded practice of the week – practice him on Thursday and Friday, and have him in the lineup for Sunday’s big game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaking before practice, coach Matt LaFleur said he had “no idea” if Bakhtiari would make his long-awaited return to the lineup this week.
“I don’t even let my mind go there at this point,” LaFleur said of having Bakhtiari make his debut this week against the defense that leads the NFL with 10 sacks.
