In an interview with Aaron Nagler of CheeseheadTV, Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari opened up about his knee injury and the frustrating recovery process he called a “nightmare.”
Bakhtiari said his year-long recovery from a torn ACL was plagued by setbacks, including swelling, fluid build-up and additional damage inside the reconstructed knee.
After making his season debut in the season finale in Detroit, Bakhtiari tried to get through a week of practice in the leadup to the divisional round but didn’t feel right, and he ended up missing the Packers’ playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
