GREEN BAY, Wis. – At least one of the Green Bay Packers’ injured starters will not return to the lineup for Sunday night’s game against the Chicago Bears.
A source on Sunday said five-time All-Pro David Bakhtiari would not play this week.
Bakhtiari practiced on Wednesday and Friday this week, with Wednesday being the full-pads session. Even when he’s cleared for game action, Bakhtiari will only practice two days a week, coach Matt LaFleur said this week.
“He’s gotten a lot of reps,” LaFleur said of the twice-per-week plan. “There’s not many people that can have a schedule like that, but I do believe and we believe as an organization that he’s one of those guys.
