Matt LaFleur on Packers Star David Bakhtiari’s Return: ‘Time Will Tell’

Minus a handful of snaps in the Packers’ regular season finale in January, star left tackle David Bakhtiari has struggled mightily to return to full strength since tearing his ACL in Dec. 2020.

Bakhtiari’s short-lived return in Week 18 saw the 30-year-old play only 20 snaps in the first half before exiting for the remainder; less than two weeks later, he was shut down again. His noteworthy absence throughout OTAs this offseason has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Bakhtiari, who began last season on the PUP list, with training camp set to begin July 27.
