Less than a week after Green Bay Packers tackle David Bakhtiari went on injured reserve and had his fourth knee surgery in three years, coach Matt LaFleur is staying mum on the 31-year-old All-Pro's status for this season and beyond.
Dan Graziano and Mike Tannenbaum chalk up the Packers' loss to the Lions to inexperience and poor pass protection. Rob Demovsky is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the Green Bay Packers. He has covered the Packers since 1997 and joined ESPN in 2013. Demovsky is a two-time Wisconsin Sportswriter of the Year as selected by the NSSA. You can follow him on Twitter at @RobDemovsky.
"Yeah, I'll let Dave comment on that," LaFleur said."I know he wanted to talk to you guys later on. I'll let him talk about his timeline."The 31-year-old five-time All-Pro played only one game this season, the opener against the Bears, before problems with the knee recurred. After missing the Week 2 game at Atlanta, Bakhtiari said he had not strongly considered retirement at any point during his recovery attempts. However, that was before this latest surgery.
Bakhtiari has played in just 13 games since the start of the 2021 regular season after he blew out his left knee in practice on Dec. 31, 2020. The Packers treated him with kid gloves this past summer during training camp, giving him days off whenever he needed them. He played in the season opener without having practiced in the week leading up to the game.
