After beginning Packers training camp on the physically unable to perform list, star left tackle David Bakhtiari has cleared a significant hurdle with just three weeks to go before the start of the season.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur announced Sunday that Bakhtiari, 30, has been removed from the PUP list and will begin participating in individual drills. The All-Pro offensive lineman is continuing to work his way back from a devastating ACL injury that prematurely ended his 2020 season and severely impacted his availability during the ’21 campaign.
“It’s the next step but we are excited to get him out there on the grass,” LaFleur said, per team reporter Wes Hodkiewicz.
