LaFleur: Packers have discussed moving Yosh Nijman to right tackle

On Monday, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that the plan at left tackle on Sunday was to give left tackle David Bakhtiari two series before Yosh Nijman entered the game to spell him. In Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in Bakhtiari’s season debut, Bakhtiari and Nijman rotated every series throughout the game. Per LaFleur, Bakhtiari said, “I’m going,” at halftime, which led to the coaching staff ending the rotation mid-game. In the Packers’ 73 offensive snaps on Sunday, Bakhtiari played 70 of them while Nijman played just three.
