The Packers had a starting offensive lineman rehabbing from a torn ACL last offseason and left tackle David Bakhtiari didn’t make it back into the lineup until the final week of the regular season.
Bakhtiari was out again for the team’s playoff loss to the 49ers and they didn’t have Elgton Jenkins to plug back into the lineup. Jenkins had moved from guard to left tackle in Bakhtiari’s absence, but he suffered a torn ACL in late November and was out of action.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gave an update on Jenkins’ condition from the Scouting Combine this week and it sounds like he may also be in for an extended timeline for his return to the lineup.
