Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari sits out practice again, won't return against Browns

GREEN BAY - Left tackle David Bakhtiari was not present Wednesday when the Green Bay Packers packed two days' worth of practice into one.

Their Christmas Day game Saturday against the Cleveland Browns put the Packers up against a short week, but after consulting with his players, coach Matt LaFleur allowed the team to take Tuesday off and make it up Wednesday in a walk-through practice.

Bakhtiari practiced two days last week, surprising even LaFleur, but was not on the field for the final day of practice ahead of the Baltimore Ravens game.

After Bakhtiari's absence Wednesday, LaFleur said everything is still day-to-day for the All-Pro tackle who has had a long road of recovery back from an ACL injury.
