The Green Bay Packers got some ugly and unexpected news on the injury front on Thursday, as one of the team’s most critical players was held out of practice. Left tackle David Bakhtiari did not participate in Thursday’s session, a day after being listed as limited with a back issue.
Bakhtiari is the NFL’s reigning first-team All-Pro left tackle, and although his performance last week in Chicago was a bit poorer than his normal level of play, he remains an exceptional pass-blocker who protects Aaron Rodgers’ blind side. Suddenly, his status for the Packers’ week two game against the Minnesota Vikings is in doubt.
Head coach Matt LaFleur did little to ease Packers fans’ concerns after practice today, speaking only vaguely about Bakhtiari’s status. When asked if the tackle would suit up for the team’s final practice of the week on Friday, LaFleur only said “We will see tomorrow.”
