The status of Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari for Sunday’s season opener looks in jeopardy after the All-Pro missed practice on Friday, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Bakhtiari, who was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday, is attempting to return to the field after playing in just one game for the Packers last season. He tore his ACL and suffered other knee damage on Dec. 31 of 2020 and has played only 27 total snaps (in last season’s finale at Detroit) since.
It’s certainly possible Bakhtiari isn’t at a point in his recovery timeline where he’s ready to play in a game, especially if he’s needing to miss a Friday practice before a Sunday game.
