Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed that left tackle David Bakhtiari had another procedure on his injured knee during the offseason but he also said the team is “cautiously optimistic” about Bakhtiari’s recovery status entering training camp.
“He did have another procedure in the offseason,” Gutekunst said Wednesday. “We’re cautiously optimistic.”
Gutekunst put no timetable on Bakhtiari’s return to the field. The Packers starting left tackle missed all of the offseason workout program and is starting training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
Bakhtiari won’t be one of the players activated by the start of Wednesday’s practice, the first of training camp.
