GREEN BAY - After playing 27 snaps in his 2021 debut, Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari did not practice Wednesday because of what the team described as "load management" on its bye week.
Bakhtiari left the Packers' finale at the Detroit Lions after playing three snaps in their fourth drive, but coach Matt LaFleur said his left tackle was pulled only for fatigue reasons. The Packers entered last week with a range in mind for how many snaps Bakhtiari would play, and the veteran who hadn’t been active all season as he returns from a torn ACL indicated he had reached the upper limits.
