GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari is expected to return to action Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings after missing three games to recover from an appendectomy.
Bakhtiari practiced on a limited basis all week and wasn’t given a status on Friday’s injury report.
“I fully expect Dave to play,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.
Bakhtiari has been effective when healthy but has missed six of the Packers' 15 games this season. The veteran left tackle earned All-Pro honors in 2018 and 2020 and was a second-team selection in the All-Pro balloting in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
