Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari underwent a third surgery on his knee, and it’s unclear if he will return in time for the start of the regular season on Sept. 11, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst provided an update on Wednesday:
“We’re not going to put a timetable on it, but what I will is Dave had a very significant injury—much more than just an ACL way back when it occurred. I thought he busted his tail to get back last season. As we went through that last game versus Detroit, I think when he came out of that he wasn’t particularly happy with how it responded. He did have another procedure in the offseason, but I think we’re cautiously optimistic.”
Bakhtiari initially suffered a torn ACL on Dec. 31, 2020, causing him to miss the ensuing postseason and nearly all of the 2021 season. He returned for the Week 18 game against the Detroit Lions, but only played 27 snaps and was unavailable for the playoffs.
