Packers coach Matt LaFleur downplays David Bakhtiari missing third straight practice: 'It's part of the process'

GREEN BAY - The return of Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari remains on hold after he missed a third straight day of practice.

Now on the 53-man roster, Bakhtiari had taken part in 11 practices – two of which were walk-throughs – since his PUP practice window opened Oct.
