It took 374 days for Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari to return to the field after tearing his ACL in 2020, but the All-Pro lineman looked like his old self on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
Bakhtiari’s injury was suffered in practice on New Year’s Eve prior to the team’s playoff run and eventual elimination against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game. While there was hope that he could return at the beginning of the regular season, Bakhtiari was placed on the PUP list at the beginning of the year.
