The Green Bay Packers have moved David Bakhtiari to the Physically Unable to Perform list. He will now miss the first six games of the season as he recovers from the season-ending ACL tear he suffered during 2020.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news via Twitter on Tuesday.
Bakhtiari is recognized as one of the best (if not the best) left tackle in the NFL. He has been elected to the First Team All-Pro twice, in both 2018 and 2020. He was also made the NFL’s highest-paid offensive lineman in 2020, a mark that was beaten by Trent Williams in 2021.
The Packers have lost back-to-back NFC Championship Games. Now that Aaron Rodgers has officially returned to the team for what could be one last ride with Green Bay, Bakhtiari was set to be a huge piece of the puzzle. The Pack will now have to rely on Elgton Jenkins at the left tackle position until he returns from injury.
