Before the Green Bay Packers’ first practice of training camp on Wednesday, head coach Matt LaFleur stated that left tackle David Bakhtiari would be on a “modified” practice schedule this summer. This is an effort to keep the offensive lineman healthy as he’s struggled to fully recover from his 2020 ACL tear and the subsequent surgeries.
On Wednesday, Bakhtiari was rotated out of the lineup with Yosh Nijman. On Thursday, Bakhtiari missed the practice entirely as Nijman held down the fort on new quarterback Jordan Love’s blindside. Keep an eye on Bakhtiari’s situation throughout camp, as it appears that it will continue to be a factor during the 2023 season.
